Summary

There is a heap based buffer overflow in tools/tiff2pdf.c of LibTIFF 4.0.8 via a PlanarConfig=Contig image, which causes 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.

    descriptionIt was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain malformed images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, a remote attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

    descriptionThis 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().
