Description
This security bulletin contains information about 11 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-30774)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error related to TIFFTAG_INKNAMES and TIFFTAG_NUMBEROFINKS value. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data 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.
2) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3316)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the TIFFClose() function. A remote attacker can pass specially TIFf file to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3570)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in tiffcrop.c utility in libtiff when processing TIFF files. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted 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.
4) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-30086)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the tiffcp() function in tiffcp.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application to trigger an out-of-bounds write and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26966)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the uv_encode() function. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted TIFF file to the application, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
6) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2908)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in tif_dir.c. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted TIFF file to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-30775)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the extractContigSamples32bits() function in tiffcrop.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data 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.
8) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3598)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing TIFF images within the extractContigSamplesShifted24bits() function in tools/tiffcrop.c. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted TIFF image to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
9) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3599)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the writeSingleSection() function in tools/tiffcrop.c. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted TIFF file to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
10) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3576)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak in tools/tiffcrop.c when handling TIFF files. A remote attacker can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.
11) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-26965)
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.
