"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1745531344 advisory.
- loadImage() in tools/tiffcrop.c in LibTIFF through 4.5.0 has a heap-based use after free via a crafted
TIFF image. (CVE-2023-26965)
- libtiff 4.5.0 is vulnerable to Buffer Overflow in uv_encode() when libtiff reads a corrupted little-endian
TIFF file and specifies the output to be big-endian. (CVE-2023-26966)
- LibTIFF is vulnerable to an integer overflow. This flaw allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (application crash) or possibly execute an arbitrary code via a crafted tiff image, which triggers
a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2023-40745)
- A vulnerability was found in libtiff due to multiple potential integer overflows in raw2tiff.c. This flaw
allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute an arbitrary code via a crafted
tiff image, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2023-41175)
- A segment fault (SEGV) flaw was found in libtiff that could be triggered by passing a crafted tiff file to
the TIFFReadRGBATileExt() API. This flaw allows a remote attacker to cause a heap-buffer overflow, leading
to a denial of service. (CVE-2023-52356)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
