high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 435806

Description

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

- The t2p_readwrite_pdf_image_tile function in LibTIFF allows 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. (CVE-2016-9453)

- LibTIFF 4.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and crash) via a
crafted TIFF image to the (1) checkInkNamesString function in tif_dir.c in the thumbnail tool, (2)
compresscontig function in tiff2bw.c in the tiff2bw tool, (3) putcontig8bitCIELab function in
tif_getimage.c in the tiff2rgba tool, LZWPreDecode function in tif_lzw.c in the (4) tiff2ps or (5)
tiffdither tool, (6) NeXTDecode function in tif_next.c in the tiffmedian tool, or (7)
TIFFWriteDirectoryTagLongLong8Array function in tif_dirwrite.c in the tiffset tool. (CVE-2014-8127)

- Buffer overflow in the readextension function in gif2tiff.c in LibTIFF 4.0.6 allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted GIF file. (CVE-2016-3186)

- The LZWEncode function in tif_lzw.c in the bmp2tiff tool in LibTIFF 4.0.6 and earlier, when the "-c lzw"
option is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) via a crafted BMP
image. (CVE-2016-3621)

- 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-2016-3622)
