low Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 455480

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - A flaw has been found in LibTIFF 4.7.0. This affects the function
 _TIFFmallocExt/_TIFFCheckRealloc/TIFFHashSetNew/InitCCITTFax3 of the file tools/tiffcmp.c of the component
 tiffcmp. Executing manipulation can lead to memory leak. The attack is restricted to local execution. This
 attack is characterized by high complexity. It is indicated that the exploitability is difficult. The
 exploit has been published and may be used. There is ongoing doubt regarding the real existence of this
 vulnerability. This patch is called ed141286a37f6e5ddafb5069347ff5d587e7a4e0. It is best practice to apply
 a patch to resolve this issue. A researcher disputes the security impact of this issue, because "this is a
 memory leak on a command line tool that is about to exit anyway". In the reply the project maintainer
 declares this issue as "a simple 'bug' when leaving the command line tool and (...) not a security issue
 at all". (CVE-2025-9165)

Solution

Update the tiff library and its related packages to version 4.7.0-3+e4 or later.
