Alpine: libtiffxx, multiple tiff packages: security update to 4.0.2-r1 (deprecated)

critical Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 401326

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

- Heap-based buffer overflow in tif_pixarlog.c in LibTIFF before 4.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF image using
the PixarLog Compression format. (CVE-2012-4447)

- ppm2tiff does not check the return value of the TIFFScanlineSize function, which allows remote attackers
to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PPM image that
triggers an integer overflow, a zero-memory allocation, and a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2012-4564)
