Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.

1) Division by zero

EUVDB-ID: #VU32098

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 5.1 [AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:U/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2016-10266

CWE-ID: CWE-369 - Divide By Zero

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to divide-by-zero error within LibTIFF 4.0.7. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via a crafted TIFF image, related to libtiff/tif_read.c:351:22.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

Vulnerable software versions

3) Memory corruption

EUVDB-ID: #VU12653

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 3.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2016-10268

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists due to integer underflow and heap-based buffer under-read. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted TIFF image, related to "READ of size 78490" and libtiff/tif_unix.c:115:23, trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

4) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU32100

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 7.1 [AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:U/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2016-10269

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in LibTIFF 4.0.7. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted TIFF image, related to "READ of size 512" and libtiff/tif_unix.c:340:2.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

7) Heap-based buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU39382

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 6.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2016-10272

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in LibTIFF 4.0.7. A remote attacker can use a crafted TIFF image to trigger 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.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
