Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5523-1 advisory.

 - Buffer Overflow in LibTiff v4.0.10 allows attackers to cause a denial of service via the invertImage() function in the component tiffcrop. (CVE-2020-19131)

 - Buffer Overflow in LibTiff v4.0.10 allows attackers to cause a denial of service via the 'in _TIFFmemcpy' funtion in the component 'tif_unix.c'. (CVE-2020-19144)

 - Unchecked Return Value to NULL Pointer Dereference in tiffcrop in libtiff 4.3.0 allows attackers to cause a denial-of-service via a crafted tiff file. For users that compile libtiff from sources, the fix is available with commit f2b656e2. (CVE-2022-0907)

 - Null source pointer passed as an argument to memcpy() function within TIFFFetchNormalTag () in tif_dirread.c in libtiff versions up to 4.3.0 could lead to Denial of Service via crafted TIFF file.
 (CVE-2022-0908)

 - Divide By Zero error in tiffcrop in libtiff 4.3.0 allows attackers to cause a denial-of-service via a crafted tiff file. For users that compile libtiff from sources, the fix is available with commit f8d0f9aa.
 (CVE-2022-0909)

 - Out-of-bounds Read error in tiffcp in libtiff 4.3.0 allows attackers to cause a denial-of-service via a crafted tiff file. For users that compile libtiff from sources, the fix is available with commit 408976c4.
 (CVE-2022-0924)

 - LibTIFF 4.3.0 has an out-of-bounds read in _TIFFmemcpy in tif_unix.c in certain situations involving a custom tag and 0x0200 as the second word of the DE field. (CVE-2022-22844)
