========================================================================== Ubuntu Security Notice USN-5523-1 July 19, 2022 tiff vulnerabilities ========================================================================== A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives: - Ubuntu 16.04 ESM - Ubuntu 14.04 ESM Summary: Several security issues were fixed in LibTIFF. Software Description: - tiff: Tag Image File Format (TIFF) library Details: It was discovered that LibTIFF was not properly performing checks to guarantee that allocated memory space existed, which could lead to a NULL pointer dereference via a specially crafted file. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-0907, CVE-2022-0908) It was discovered that LibTIFF was not properly performing checks to avoid division calculations where the denominator value was zero, which could lead to an undefined behavior situation via a specially crafted file. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-0909) It was discovered that LibTIFF was not properly performing bounds checks, which could lead to an out-of-bounds read via a specially crafted file. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2022-0924) It was discovered that LibTIFF was not properly performing the calculation of data that would eventually be used as a reference for bounds checking operations, which could lead to an out-of-bounds read via a specially crafted file. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2020-19131) It was discovered that LibTIFF was not properly terminating a function execution when processing incorrect data, which could lead to an out-of-bounds read via a specially crafted file. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2020-19144) It was discovered that LibTIFF was not properly performing checks when setting the value for data later used as reference during memory access, which could lead to an out-of-bounds read via a specially crafted file. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or to expose sensitive information. (CVE-2022-22844) Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 16.04 ESM: libtiff-opengl 4.0.6-1ubuntu0.8+esm2 libtiff-tools 4.0.6-1ubuntu0.8+esm2 libtiff5 4.0.6-1ubuntu0.8+esm2 libtiffxx5 4.0.6-1ubuntu0.8+esm2 Ubuntu 14.04 ESM: libtiff-opengl 4.0.3-7ubuntu0.11+esm2 libtiff-tools 4.0.3-7ubuntu0.11+esm2 libtiff5 4.0.3-7ubuntu0.11+esm2 libtiffxx5 4.0.3-7ubuntu0.11+esm2 In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
