Severity

Medium

Vendor

Canonical Ubuntu

Description

It was discovered that LibTIFF was not properly performing the calculation of data that would eventually be used as a reference for bound-checking operations. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or to expose sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-19131) It was discovered that LibTIFF was not properly terminating a function execution when processing incorrect data. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or to expose sensitive information. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2020-19144) It was discovered that LibTIFF did not properly manage memory under certain circumstances. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted TIFF file using tiffinfo tool, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-1354) It was discovered that LibTIFF did not properly manage memory under certain circumstances. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted TIFF file using tiffcp tool, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-1355) 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 behaviour situation via a specially crafted file. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2022-2056, CVE-2022-2057, CVE-2022-2058) Update Instructions: Run `sudo ua fix USN-5619-1` to fix the vulnerability.
