Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-15209)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer overflow in ChopUpSingleUncompressedStrip in tif_dirread.c. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted crafted TIFF file, trigger memory corruption and cause the affected software to crash, resulting in a DoS condition.
2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-25433)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing TIFF images within the rotateImage() function in /libtiff/tools/tiffcrop.c. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted image to the application, trigger memory corruption and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
3) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-6228)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the cpStripToTile() function in libtiff/tools/tiffcp.c. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted TIFF image 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-2023-52356)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input within the TIFFReadRGBATileExt() API. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted TIFF file to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
