Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


9) 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.


10) 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.


11) 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.


12) Improper Certificate Validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-39689)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to modify data on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to Certifi python-certifi provide weaker than expected security, caused by the use of GLOBALTRUST root certificate. A remote attacker can trigger the vulnerability to launch further attacks on the system.


13) Cross-site scripting (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24785)

The disclosed vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient sanitization of user-supplied data in html/template when parsing errors returned from MarshalJSON methods. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary HTML and script code in user's browser in context of vulnerable website.


14) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24784)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform spoofing attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of display names within the ParseAddressList function in net/mail. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a spoofing attack.


15) Error Handling (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-24783)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists in crypto/x509 due to improper validation of a certificate chain that contains an unknown public key. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted certificate to the application and perform a denial of service attack.
