Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Memory leak
EUVDB-ID: #VU78727
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3576
CWE-ID:
CWE-401 - Missing release of memory after effective lifetime
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform DoS attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak in tools/tiffcrop.c when handling TIFF files. A remote attacker can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.
MitigationUpdate tiff package to one of the following versions: 4.2.0-1+deb11u5, 4.5.0-6+deb12u1.
Vulnerable software versionsDebian Linux: All versions
tiff (Debian package): before 4.5.0-6+deb12u1

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) Integer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU83511
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 8.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-40745
CWE-ID:
CWE-190 - Integer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted image to the application, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
MitigationUpdate tiff package to one of the following versions: 4.2.0-1+deb11u5, 4.5.0-6+deb12u1.

3) Integer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU81692
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-41175
CWE-ID:
CWE-190 - Integer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in raw2tiff.c A remote attacker can create a specially crafted TIFF file, trick the victim into opening it with the affected software, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
