Alpine: libtiffxx, multiple tiff packages: security update to 4.0.3-r1 (deprecated)

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 401114

Description

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

- Multiple buffer overflows in libtiff before 4.0.3 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(out-of-bounds write) via a crafted (1) extension block in a GIF image or (2) GIF raster image to
tools/gif2tiff.c or (3) a long filename for a TIFF image to tools/rgb2ycbcr.c. NOTE: vectors 1 and 3 are
disputed by Red Hat, which states that the input cannot exceed the allocated buffer size. (CVE-2013-4231)

- Use-after-free vulnerability in the t2p_readwrite_pdf_image function in tools/tiff2pdf.c in libtiff 4.0.3
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a
crafted TIFF image. (CVE-2013-4232)
