Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Heap-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU67498
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-2022-1354
CWE-ID:
CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the TIFFReadRawDataStriped() function in tiffinfo.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted TIFF file to the application that is using the affected library, 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.
MitigationInstall updates from vendor's repository.
Vulnerable software versionsFedora: 34
libtiff: before 4.4.0-1.fc34

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.
2) Buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU67497
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-2022-1355
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within tiffcp.c when processing TIFF files. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted TIFF file to the application that is using the affected library, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
MitigationInstall updates from vendor's repository.

3) Out-of-bounds read
EUVDB-ID: #VU63826
Risk: Medium
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:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1622
CWE-ID: N/A
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in LZWDecode() function in libtiff/tif_lzw.c:619. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted TIFF file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger out-of-bounds read error and to perform a denial of service attack.
