tiff3 was affected by multiple memory leaks (CVE-2017-9403, CVE-2017-9404) that could result in denial of service. Furthermore, while the current version in Debian was already patched for
_TIFFVGetField issues (CVE-2016-10095, CVE-2017-9147), we replaced our Debian-specific patches by the upstream provided patches to stay closer to upstream.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 3.9.6-11+deb7u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your tiff3 packages.

This update for tiff to version 4.0.9 fixes the following issues :

Security issues fixed :

  - CVE-2014-8128: Fix out-of-bounds read with malformed     TIFF image in multiple tools (bsc#969783).

  - CVE-2015-7554: Fix invalid write in tiffsplit /
    _TIFFVGetField (bsc#960341).

  - CVE-2016-10095: Fix stack-based buffer overflow in
    _TIFFVGetField (tif_dir.c) (bsc#1017690).

  - CVE-2016-5318: Fix stackoverflow in thumbnail     (bsc#983436).

  - CVE-2017-16232: Fix memory-based DoS in tiff2bw     (bsc#1069213).

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12:Update update project.

This update for tiff fixes the following issues :

  - CVE-2016-9453: The t2p_readwrite_pdf_image_tile function     allowed 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 (bsc#1011107).

  - CVE-2016-5652: An exploitable heap-based buffer overflow     existed in the handling of TIFF images in the TIFF2PDF     tool. A crafted TIFF document can lead to a heap-based     buffer overflow resulting in remote code execution.
    Vulnerability can be triggered via a saved TIFF file     delivered by other means (bsc#1007280).

  - CVE-2017-11335: There is a heap-based buffer overflow in     tools/tiff2pdf.c via a PlanarConfig=Contig image, which     caused a more than one hundred bytes out-of-bounds write     (related to the ZIPDecode function in tif_zip.c). A     crafted input may lead to a remote denial of service     attack or an arbitrary code execution attack     (bsc#1048937).

  - CVE-2016-9536: tools/tiff2pdf.c had an out-of-bounds     write vulnerabilities in heap allocated buffers in     t2p_process_jpeg_strip(). Reported as MSVR 35098, aka     't2p_process_jpeg_strip heap-buffer-overflow.'     (bsc#1011845)

  - CVE-2017-9935: In LibTIFF, there was a heap-based buffer     overflow in the t2p_write_pdf function in     tools/tiff2pdf.c. This heap overflow could lead to     different damages. For example, a crafted TIFF document     can lead to an out-of-bounds read in TIFFCleanup, an     invalid free in TIFFClose or t2p_free, memory corruption     in t2p_readwrite_pdf_image, or a double free in     t2p_free. Given these possibilities, it probably could     cause arbitrary code execution (bsc#1046077).

  - CVE-2017-17973: There is a heap-based use-after-free in     the t2p_writeproc function in tiff2pdf.c. (bsc#1074318)

  - CVE-2015-7554: The _TIFFVGetField function in tif_dir.c     allowed attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid     memory write and crash) or possibly have unspecified     other impact via crafted field data in an extension tag     in a TIFF image (bsc#960341).

  - CVE-2016-5318: Stack-based buffer overflow in the
    _TIFFVGetField function allowed remote attackers to     crash the application via a crafted tiff (bsc#983436).

  - CVE-2016-10095: Stack-based buffer overflow in the
    _TIFFVGetField function in tif_dir.c allowed remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a     crafted TIFF file (bsc#1017690,).

  - CVE-2016-10268: tools/tiffcp.c allowed remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (integer underflow and     heap-based buffer under-read) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted TIFF image,     related to 'READ of size 78490' and     libtiff/tif_unix.c:115:23 (bsc#1031255)

  - An overlapping of memcpy parameters was fixed which     could lead to content corruption (bsc#1017691).

  - Fixed an invalid memory read which could lead to a crash     (bsc#1017692).

  - Fixed a NULL pointer dereference in TIFFReadRawData     (tiffinfo.c) that could crash the decoder (bsc#1017688).

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the libtiff library and the included tools, which may result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.

New libtiff packages are available for Slackware 14.2 and -current to fix security issues.

This update for tiff fixes the following security issues :

  - CVE-2017-5225: Prevent heap buffer overflow in the     tools/tiffcp that could have caused DoS or code     execution via a crafted BitsPerSample value     (bsc#1019611)

  - CVE-2018-7456: Prevent a NULL pointer dereference in the     function TIFFPrintDirectory when using the tiffinfo tool     to print crafted TIFF information, a different     vulnerability than CVE-2017-18013 (bsc#1082825)

  - CVE-2017-11613: Prevent denial of service in the     TIFFOpen function. During the TIFFOpen process,     td_imagelength is not checked. The value of     td_imagelength can be directly controlled by an input     file. In the ChopUpSingleUncompressedStrip function, the
    _TIFFCheckMalloc function is called based on     td_imagelength. If the value of td_imagelength is set     close to the amount of system memory, it will hang the     system or trigger the OOM killer (bsc#1082332)

  - CVE-2016-10266: Prevent remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application     crash) via a crafted TIFF image, related to     libtiff/tif_read.c:351:22 (bsc#1031263)

  - CVE-2018-8905: Prevent heap-based buffer overflow in the     function LZWDecodeCompat via a crafted TIFF file     (bsc#1086408)

  - CVE-2016-9540: Prevent out-of-bounds write on tiled     images with odd tile width versus image width     (bsc#1011839).

  - CVE-2016-9535: tif_predict.h and tif_predict.c had     assertions that could have lead to assertion failures in     debug mode, or buffer overflows in release mode, when     dealing with unusual tile size like YCbCr with     subsampling (bsc#1011846).

  - CVE-2016-9535: tif_predict.h and tif_predict.c had     assertions that could have lead to assertion failures in     debug mode, or buffer overflows in release mode, when     dealing with unusual tile size like YCbCr with     subsampling (bsc#1011846).

  - Removed assert in readSeparateTilesIntoBuffer() function     (bsc#1017689).

  - CVE-2016-10095: Prevent stack-based buffer overflow in     the _TIFFVGetField function that allowed remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a     crafted TIFF file (bsc#1017690).

  - CVE-2016-8331: Prevent remote code execution because of     incorrect handling of TIFF images. A crafted TIFF     document could have lead to a type confusion     vulnerability resulting in remote code execution. This     vulnerability could have been be triggered via a TIFF     file delivered to the application using LibTIFF's tag     extension functionality (bsc#1007276).

  - CVE-2016-3632: The _TIFFVGetField function allowed     remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds write) or execute arbitrary code via a     crafted TIFF image (bsc#974621).
