Description
This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0561)
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 the memcpy() function within TIFFFetchStripThing() in tif_dirread.c. A remote attacker can trick victim to open specially crafted TIFF file and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
2) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2519)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a double free error within the rotateImage() function in tiffcrop.c. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the application, trigger a double free and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.3) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2520)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion within the rotateImage() function in tiffcrop.c. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the application, trigger assertion failure and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) Release of invalid pointer or reference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2521)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an invalid pointer free operation within the TIFFClose() function in tif_close.c. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.5) Integer underflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2867)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer underflow within the tiffcrop utility. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the affected application, trigger an integer underflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
6) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2868)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the tiffcrop utility. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
7) Integer underflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-2869)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer underflow within the extractContigSamples8bits routine in the tiffcrop utility. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file to the affected application, trigger an integer underflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
8) Use of uninitialized resource (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34266)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to an invalid range may be passed as an argument to the memset() function within TIFFFetchStripThing() in tif_dirread.c when processing a malicious TIFF file. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted TIFF file, trigger uninitialized usage of resources and perform a denial of service attack.
9) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-34526)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the _TIFFVGetField() function in Tiffsplit. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted file to the application, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
