Synopsis
The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for libtiff.Description
The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:2289 advisory.- An issue was discovered in function TIFFReadDirectory libtiff before 4.4.0 allows attackers to cause a denial of service via crafted TIFF file. (CVE-2022-40090)
- A flaw was found in libtiff. A specially crafted tiff file can lead to a segmentation fault due to a buffer overflow in the Fax3Encode function in libtiff/tif_fax3.c, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2023-3618)
- LibTIFF is vulnerable to an integer overflow. This flaw allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute an arbitrary code via a crafted tiff image, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2023-40745)
- A vulnerability was found in libtiff due to multiple potential integer overflows in raw2tiff.c. This flaw allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute an arbitrary code via a crafted tiff image, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2023-41175)
- An issue was found in the tiffcp utility distributed by the libtiff package where a crafted TIFF file on processing may cause a heap-based buffer overflow leads to an application crash. (CVE-2023-6228)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
Solution
Update the RHEL libtiff package based on the guidance in RHSA-2024:2289.See Also
