Description

This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0561)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in the memcpy() function within TIFFFetchStripThing() in tif_dirread.c. A remote attacker can trick victim to open specially crafted TIFF file and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


2) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0562)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in the memcpy() function within TIFFReadDirectory() in tif_dirread.c. A remote attacker can trick victim to open specially crafted TIFF file and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


3) Reachable Assertion (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0865)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a reachable assertion in the tiffcp component. A remote attacker can trick a victim to open a specially crafted TIFF file and perform a denial of service attack.


4) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0891)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing TIFF file in ExtractImageSection() function in tiffcrop.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted TIFF file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


5) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0907)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in tiffcrop in libtiff. A remote attacker can trigger denial of service conditions via a crafted tiff file.


6) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0908)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in the memcpy() function within TIFFFetchNormalTag () in tif_dirread.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted TIFF file to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


7) Division by zero (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0909)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a division by zero error in the tiffcrop component. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted TIFF file to the application and crash it.


8) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-0924)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial-of-service attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted TIFF file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger out-of-bounds read error and perform a denial-of-service attack.


9) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-22844)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the _TIFFmemcpy() function in tif_unix.c in certain situations involving a custom tag and 0x0200 as the second word of the DE field. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted file and perform a denial of service attack.
