An update of the libtiff package has been released.

The remote Oracle Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2025-20801 advisory.

    - backport documentation change for CVE-2023-52355 (RHEL-17328)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2025:0181 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2023-52355:
    An out-of-memory flaw was found in libtiff that could be triggered by passing a crafted tiff file to the     TIFFRasterScanlineSize64() API. This flaw allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via a     crafted input with a size smaller than 379 KB.

    CVE-2023-52356:
    A segment fault (SEGV) flaw was found in libtiff that could be triggered by passing a crafted tiff file to     the TIFFReadRGBATileExt() API. This flaw allows a remote attacker to cause a heap-buffer overflow, leading     to a denial of service.

The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 7.02, has libtiff packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - A vulnerability exists in Trellix Agent for Windows version 5.7.8 and earlier, that allows local users,     during install/upgrade workflow, to replace one of the Agent's executables before it can be executed. This     allows the user to elevate their permissions. (CVE-2023-0975)

  - processCropSelections in tools/tiffcrop.c in LibTIFF through 4.5.0 has a heap-based buffer overflow (e.g.,     WRITE of size 307203) via a crafted TIFF image. (CVE-2022-48281)

  - A flaw was found in tiffcrop, a program distributed by the libtiff package. A specially crafted tiff file     can lead to an out-of-bounds read in the extractImageSection function in tools/tiffcrop.c, resulting in a     denial of service and limited information disclosure. This issue affects libtiff versions 4.x.
    (CVE-2023-1916)

  - 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)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - An out-of-memory flaw was found in libtiff that could be triggered by passing a crafted tiff file to the     TIFFRasterScanlineSize64() API. This flaw allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via a     crafted input with a size smaller than 379 KB. (CVE-2023-52355)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 4 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0784 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2023-6277:
    An out-of-memory flaw was found in libtiff. Passing a crafted tiff file to TIFFOpen() API may allow a     remote attacker to cause a denial of service via a craft input with size smaller than 379 KB.

    CVE-2023-52356:
    A segment fault (SEGV) flaw was found in libtiff that could be triggered by passing a crafted tiff file to     the TIFFReadRGBATileExt() API. This flaw allows a remote attacker to cause a heap-buffer overflow, leading     to a denial of service.

    CVE-2023-52355:
    An out-of-memory flaw was found in libtiff that could be triggered by passing a crafted tiff file to the     TIFFRasterScanlineSize64() API. This flaw allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service via a     crafted input with a size smaller than 379 KB.

    CVE-2023-6228:
    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.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2025:20801 advisory.

    The libtiff packages contain a library of functions for manipulating Tagged Image File Format (TIFF)     files.

    Security Fix(es):

    * libtiff: TIFFRasterScanlineSize64 produce too-big size and could cause OOM (CVE-2023-52355)

    * libtiff: Segment fault in libtiff  in TIFFReadRGBATileExt() leading to denial of service     (CVE-2023-52356)

    For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and     other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
