Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.

1) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU63826

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 3.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1622

CWE-ID: N/A

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in LZWDecode() function in libtiff/tif_lzw.c:619. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted TIFF file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger out-of-bounds read error and to perform a denial of service attack.

Mitigation

Update the affected package tiff to the latest version.

4) Heap-based buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU78286

Risk: High

CVSSv3.1: 8.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26965

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the loadImage() function in tools/tiffcrop.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted TIFF file to the application, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
