Description

This security bulletin contains information about 18 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-25435)

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

The vulnerability exists due to buffer overflow in the extractContigSamplesShifted8bits() at /libtiff/tools/tiffcrop.c:3753. A local unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted file and perform a denial of service attack.


2) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3576)

The 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.


3) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3618)

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

The vulnerability exists due to buffer overflow in the Fax3Encode() function in libtiff/tif_fax3.c. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted file and perform a denial of service attack.


4) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-30774)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error related to TIFFTAG_INKNAMES and  TIFFTAG_NUMBEROFINKS value. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, 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.


5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-25434)

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

The vulnerability exists due to buffer overflow in the extractContigSamplesBytes() at /libtiff/tools/tiffcrop.c:3215. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted file and execute arbitrary code on the system.


6) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38289)

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

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in tools/raw2tiff.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


7) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3316)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the TIFFClose() function. A remote attacker can pass specially TIFf file to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


8) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-40745)

The 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.


9) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-38288)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the readSeparateTilesIntoBuffer() function in tools/tiffcp.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


10) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-41175)

The 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.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


11) Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-24998)

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

The vulnerability exists due to Apache Commons FileUpload does not limit the number of request parts. A remote attacker can initiate a series of uploads and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


12) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2731)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error within the LZWDecode() function in the libtiff/tif_lzw.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.


13) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-3164)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the extractImageSection() function in tools/tiffcrop.c. A local attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted data, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service attack.


14) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2908)

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 tif_dir.c. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted TIFF file to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
