"The AlmaLinux 9.6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.6:CLSA-2026:1776349106 advisory.
- A stack overflow was discovered in the _TIFFVGetField function of Tiffsplit v4.4.0. This vulnerability
allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted TIFF file parsed by the tiffsplit or
tiffcrop utilities. (CVE-2022-34526)
- A flaw was found in tiffcrop, a program distributed by the libtiff package. A specially crafted tiff file
can lead to an out-of-bounds read in the extractImageSection function in tools/tiffcrop.c, resulting in a
denial of service and limited information disclosure. This issue affects libtiff versions 4.x.
(CVE-2023-1916)
- A null pointer dereference issue was found in Libtiff's tif_dir.c file. This issue may allow an attacker
to pass a crafted TIFF image file to the tiffcp utility which triggers a runtime error that causes
undefined behavior. This will result in an application crash, eventually leading to a denial of service.
(CVE-2023-2908)
- A heap-buffer-overflow vulnerability was found in LibTIFF, in extractImageSection() at
tools/tiffcrop.c:7916 and tools/tiffcrop.c:7801. This flaw allows attackers to cause a denial of service
via a crafted tiff file. (CVE-2023-3164)
- An out-of-memory flaw was found in libtiff. Passing a crafted tiff file to TIFFOpen() API may allow a
remote attacker to cause a denial of service via a craft input with size smaller than 379 KB.
(CVE-2023-6277)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
