Alpine: libtiffxx, multiple tiff packages: security update to 4.4.0-r0

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 424573

Description

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

- libtiff's tiffcrop utility has a uint32_t underflow that can lead to out of bounds read and write. An
attacker who supplies a crafted file to tiffcrop (likely via tricking a user to run tiffcrop on it with
certain parameters) could cause a crash or in some cases, further exploitation. (CVE-2022-2867)

- libtiff's tiffcrop utility has a improper input validation flaw that can lead to out of bounds read and
ultimately cause a crash if an attacker is able to supply a crafted file to tiffcrop. (CVE-2022-2868)

- libtiff's tiffcrop tool has a uint32_t underflow which leads to out of bounds read and write in the
extractContigSamples8bits routine. An attacker who supplies a crafted file to tiffcrop could trigger this
flaw, most likely by tricking a user into opening the crafted file with tiffcrop. Triggering this flaw
could cause a crash or potentially further exploitation. (CVE-2022-2869)
