Security update for tiff

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).

Security update for tiff

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).
