Descriptions

Reachable Assertion in tiffcp in libtiff 4.3.0 allows attackers to cause a denial-of-service via a crafted tiff file. For users that compile libtiff from sources, the fix is available with commit 5e180045.

Una Aserción Alcanzable en tiffcp en libtiff versión 4.3.0, permite a atacantes causar una denegación de servicio por medio de un archivo tiff diseñado. Para usuarios que compilan libtiff desde las fuentes, la corrección está disponible con el commit 5e180045

A reachable assertion failure was found in libtiff's JBIG functionality. This flaw allows an attacker who can submit a crafted file to an application linked with libtiff and using the JBIG functionality, causes a crash via an assertion failure, leading to a denial of service. The exact mechanism and conditions around this issue are dependent on how the application uses libtiff.

It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain images. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affects Ubuntu 14.04 ESM, Ubuntu 16.04 ESM, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. Chintan Shah discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled memory when handling certain images. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
