Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.

1) Heap-based buffer over-read

EUVDB-ID: #VU12422

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-10779

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

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The weakness exists in the TIFFWriteScanline function in the tif_write.csource code file due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A local attacker can use the .bmp2tiff command to execute a specially crafted file, trigger heap-based buffer over-read and cause the service to crash.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

https://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-security-announce/2018-10/msg00055.html


Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability. However, proof of concept for this vulnerability is available.

2) Heap-based buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU16204

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-16335

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

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to heap-based buffer overflow in newoffsets handling 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.

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.

3) Integer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU15531

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-17100

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 vulnerability exists due to int32 overflow when insufficient validation of user-supplied input processed by the multiply_ms() function, as defined in the tools/ppm2tiff.c source code file. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into opening or executing an image file that submits malicious input to the targeted system. A successful exploit could trigger memory corruption and cause the affected software to crash, resulting in a DoS condition.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

4) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU15532

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-17101

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

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to out-of-bounds read during insufficient validation of user-supplied input processed by the cpTags function, as defined in the tools/tiff2bw.c and tools/pal2rgb.c source code files. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into opening or executing an image file that submits malicious input to the targeted system. A successful exploit could trigger memory corruption and cause the affected software to crash, resulting in a DoS condition.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

5) Heap-based buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU15148

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 7.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-17795

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 the t2p_write_pdf() function in tiff2pdf.c file. A remote attacker can use a specially crafted TIFF file 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.

6) Memory corruption

EUVDB-ID: #VU11499

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 8.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2017-9935

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The weakness exists in the t2p_write_pdf function in tools/tiff2pdf.c due to heap-based buffer overflow. A remote attacker can submit a specially crafted TIFF document, trigger out-of-bounds read in TIFFCleanup, an invalid free in TIFFClose or t2p_free, memory corruption in t2p_readwrite_pdf_image, or a double free in t2p_free and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability may result in system compromise.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.
