Versions Affected

Canonical Ubuntu 16.04

Description

It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain malformed images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, a remote attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. This issue was only fixed in Ubuntu 14.04 ESM. (CVE-2019-14973, CVE-2019-17546, CVE-2020-35523, CVE-2020-35524, CVE-2022-3970) It was discovered that LibTIFF was incorrectly acessing a data structure when processing data with the tiffcrop tool, which could lead to a heap buffer overflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-48281) Update Instructions: Run `sudo pro fix USN-5841-1` to fix the vulnerability. The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: libtiff-opengl - 4.0.6-1ubuntu0.8+esm9 libtiff-tools - 4.0.6-1ubuntu0.8+esm9 libtiff5-dev - 4.0.6-1ubuntu0.8+esm9 libtiff5 - 4.0.6-1ubuntu0.8+esm9 libtiffxx5 - 4.0.6-1ubuntu0.8+esm9 libtiff-doc - 4.0.6-1ubuntu0.8+esm9 Available with Ubuntu Pro (Infra-only): https://ubuntu.com/pro
