Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1622)
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.
2) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-40090)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop within the TIFFReadDirectory() function. A remote attacker can consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
3) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-1916)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the extractImageSection() function in tools/tiffcrop.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
4) 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.
5) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2731)
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 LZWDecode() function in the libtiff/tif_lzw.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
