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-2022-0908)
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.
6) 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.
7) 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.
8) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-1355)
The 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.
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.
