tools/tiff2pdf.c in libtiff 4.0.6 has out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities in heap allocated buffers in t2p_process_jpeg_strip(). Reported as MSVR 35098, aka "t2p_process_jpeg_strip heap-buffer-overflow."

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - tools/tiff2pdf.c in libtiff 4.0.6 has out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities in heap allocated buffers in     t2p_process_jpeg_strip(). Reported as MSVR 35098, aka t2p_process_jpeg_strip heap-buffer-overflow.
    (CVE-2016-9536)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

This update for tiff fixes the following issues :

  - CVE-2016-9453: The t2p_readwrite_pdf_image_tile function     allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds write and crash) or possibly execute     arbitrary code via a JPEG file with a TIFFTAG_JPEGTABLES     of length one (bsc#1011107).

  - CVE-2016-5652: An exploitable heap-based buffer overflow     existed in the handling of TIFF images in the TIFF2PDF     tool. A crafted TIFF document can lead to a heap-based     buffer overflow resulting in remote code execution.
    Vulnerability can be triggered via a saved TIFF file     delivered by other means (bsc#1007280).

  - CVE-2017-11335: There is a heap-based buffer overflow in     tools/tiff2pdf.c via a PlanarConfig=Contig image, which     caused a more than one hundred bytes out-of-bounds write     (related to the ZIPDecode function in tif_zip.c). A     crafted input may lead to a remote denial of service     attack or an arbitrary code execution attack     (bsc#1048937).

  - CVE-2016-9536: tools/tiff2pdf.c had an out-of-bounds     write vulnerabilities in heap allocated buffers in     t2p_process_jpeg_strip(). Reported as MSVR 35098, aka     't2p_process_jpeg_strip heap-buffer-overflow.'     (bsc#1011845)

  - CVE-2017-9935: In LibTIFF, there was a heap-based buffer     overflow in the t2p_write_pdf function in     tools/tiff2pdf.c. This heap overflow could lead to     different damages. For example, a crafted TIFF document     can lead to an out-of-bounds read in TIFFCleanup, an     invalid free in TIFFClose or t2p_free, memory corruption     in t2p_readwrite_pdf_image, or a double free in     t2p_free. Given these possibilities, it probably could     cause arbitrary code execution (bsc#1046077).

  - CVE-2017-17973: There is a heap-based use-after-free in     the t2p_writeproc function in tiff2pdf.c. (bsc#1074318)

  - CVE-2015-7554: The _TIFFVGetField function in tif_dir.c     allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid     memory write and crash) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via crafted field data in an extension tag     in a TIFF image (bsc#960341).

  - CVE-2016-5318: Stack-based buffer overflow in the
    _TIFFVGetField function allowed remote attackers to     crash the application via a crafted tiff (bsc#983436).

  - CVE-2016-10095: Stack-based buffer overflow in the
    _TIFFVGetField function in tif_dir.c allowed remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a     crafted TIFF file (bsc#1017690,).

  - CVE-2016-10268: tools/tiffcp.c allowed remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (integer underflow and     heap-based buffer under-read) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted TIFF image,     related to 'READ of size 78490' and     libtiff/tif_unix.c:115:23 (bsc#1031255)

  - An overlapping of memcpy parameters was fixed which     could lead to content corruption (bsc#1017691).

  - Fixed an invalid memory read which could lead to a crash     (bsc#1017692).

  - Fixed a NULL pointer dereference in TIFFReadRawData     (tiffinfo.c) that could crash the decoder (bsc#1017688).

Numerous security vulnerabilities have been found through fuzzing on various tiff-related binaries. Crafted TIFF images allows remote attacks to cause denial of service or, in certain cases arbitrary code execution through divide-by-zero, out of bunds write, integer and heap overflow.

CVE-2016-3622

The fpAcc function in tif_predict.c in the tiff2rgba tool in LibTIFF 4.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error) via a crafted TIFF image.

CVE-2016-3623

The rgb2ycbcr tool in LibTIFF 4.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero) by setting the (1) v or (2) h parameter to 0. (Fixed along with CVE-2016-3624.)

CVE-2016-3624

The cvtClump function in the rgb2ycbcr tool in LibTIFF 4.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) by setting the '-v' option to -1.

CVE-2016-3945

Multiple integer overflows in the (1) cvt_by_strip and (2) cvt_by_tile functions in the tiff2rgba tool in LibTIFF 4.0.6 and earlier, when -b mode is enabled, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF image, which triggers an out-of-bounds write.

CVE-2016-3990

Heap-based buffer overflow in the horizontalDifference8 function in tif_pixarlog.c in LibTIFF 4.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF image to tiffcp.

CVE-2016-9533

tif_pixarlog.c in libtiff 4.0.6 has out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities in heap allocated buffers. Reported as MSVR 35094, aka 'PixarLog horizontalDifference heap-buffer-overflow.'

CVE-2016-9534

tif_write.c in libtiff 4.0.6 has an issue in the error code path of TIFFFlushData1() that didn't reset the tif_rawcc and tif_rawcp members. Reported as MSVR 35095, aka 'TIFFFlushData1 heap-buffer-overflow.'

CVE-2016-9535

tif_predict.h and tif_predict.c in libtiff 4.0.6 have assertions that can lead to assertion failures in debug mode, or buffer overflows in release mode, when dealing with unusual tile size like YCbCr with subsampling. Reported as MSVR 35105, aka 'Predictor heap-buffer-overflow.'

CVE-2016-9536

tools/tiff2pdf.c in libtiff 4.0.6 has out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities in heap allocated buffers in t2p_process_jpeg_strip().
Reported as MSVR 35098, aka 't2p_process_jpeg_strip heap-buffer-overflow.'

CVE-2016-9537

tools/tiffcrop.c in libtiff 4.0.6 has out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities in buffers. Reported as MSVR 35093, MSVR 35096, and MSVR 35097.

CVE-2016-9538

tools/tiffcrop.c in libtiff 4.0.6 reads an undefined buffer in readContigStripsIntoBuffer() because of a uint16 integer overflow.
Reported as MSVR 35100.

CVE-2016-9540

tools/tiffcp.c in libtiff 4.0.6 has an out-of-bounds write on tiled images with odd tile width versus image width. Reported as MSVR 35103, aka cpStripToTile heap-buffer-overflow.

CVE-2016-10092

heap-buffer-overflow in tiffcrop

CVE-2016-10093 uint32 underflow/overflow that can cause heap-based buffer overflow in tiffcp

CVE-2017-5225

LibTIFF version 4.0.7 is vulnerable to a heap buffer overflow in the tools/tiffcp resulting in DoS or code execution via a crafted BitsPerSample value.

Bug #846837

heap-based buffer verflow in TIFFFillStrip (tif_read.c)

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 4.0.2-6+deb7u9.

We recommend that you upgrade your tiff packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the libtiff library and the included tools tiff2rgba, rgb2ycbcr, tiffcp, tiffcrop, tiff2pdf and tiffsplit, which may result in denial of service, memory disclosure or the execution of arbitrary code.

There were additional vulnerabilities in the tools bmp2tiff, gif2tiff, thumbnail and ras2tiff, but since these were addressed by the libtiff developers by removing the tools altogether, no patches are available and those tools were also removed from the tiff package in Debian stable. The change had already been made in Debian stretch before and no applications included in Debian are known to rely on these scripts.
If you use those tools in custom setups, consider using a different conversion/thumbnailing tool.
