Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) 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.
2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3618)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to buffer overflow in the Fax3Encode() function in libtiff/tif_fax3.c. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted file and perform a denial of service attack.
3) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-40745)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted image to the application, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
4) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-41175)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in raw2tiff.c A remote attacker can create a specially crafted TIFF file, trick the victim into opening it with the affected software, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
5) 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.
