Security Bulletin


Summary

IBM Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) Preboot has addressed the following vulnerabilities in libTIFF.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2018-18661
DESCRIPTION: LibTIFF is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a NULL pointer dereference in the LZWDecode function in tif_lzw.c. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted file, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base Score: 3.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/152035 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID: CVE-2018-12900
DESCRIPTION: LibTIFF is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a heap-based buffer overflow in the cpSeparateBufToContigBuf function in tiffcp.c. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted file, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service condition.
CVSS Base Score: 5.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/145464 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID: CVE-2017-9147
DESCRIPTION: LibTIFF is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an invalid read in the _TIFFVGetField function. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted TIFF image file, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 3.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/127484 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID: CVE-2017-9117
DESCRIPTION: LibTIFF is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by the processing of BMP images without verifying that biWidth and biHeight in the bitmap-information header match the actual input. By using a specially crafted BMP image, attacker could overflow a buffer in bmp2tiff and execute arbitrary code on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/126280 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
