Summary

IBM Watson Discovery Cartridge for IBM Cloud Pak for Data contains a vulnerable version of LibTIFF.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2022-2953
**DESCRIPTION:**LibTIFF is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out-of-bounds read in extractImageSection in tools/tiffcrop.c:6905. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted file, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 5.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/235019 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2022-2869
**DESCRIPTION:**LibTIFF is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a uint32_t underflow that leads to an out-of-bounds read and write in the extractContigSamples8bits routine when parsing files in tiffcrop.c. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted file, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 5.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/233914 for the current score.
