USN-6290-1: LibTIFF vulnerabilities

Severity

Medium

Vendor

Canonical Ubuntu

Description

It was discovered that LibTIFF could be made to write out of bounds when processing certain malformed image files with the tiffcrop utility. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted image file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause tiffcrop to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-48281) It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain image files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted image file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 23.04. (CVE-2023-2731) It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain image files with the tiffcp utility. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted image file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause tiffcp to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2023-2908) It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain file paths. If a user were tricked into specifying certain output paths, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2023-3316) It was discovered that LibTIFF could be made to write out of bounds when processing certain malformed image files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted image file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2023-3618) It was discovered that LibTIFF could be made to write out of bounds when processing certain malformed image files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted image file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 23.04. (CVE-2023-25433, CVE-2023-26966) It was discovered that LibTIFF did not properly managed memory when processing certain malformed image files with the tiffcrop utility. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted image file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause tiffcrop to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 23.04. (CVE-2023-26965) It was discovered that LibTIFF contained an arithmetic overflow. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted image file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-38288, CVE-2023-38289) Update Instructions: Run `sudo pro fix USN-6290-1` to fix the vulnerability.
