Summary

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

Vulnerability Details

CVEID:CVE-2022-0924
**DESCRIPTION:**libtiff is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by heap-based buffer overflow in cpContigBufToSeparateBuf. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted TIFF 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/221654 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-2022-0909
**DESCRIPTION:**libtiff is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by FPE in computeOutputPixelOffsets in tools/tiffcrop.c. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted TIFF 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/221656 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-2022-1056
**DESCRIPTION:**libtiff is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an out-of-bounds read error in tiffcrop. By persuading a victim to open a specially-crafted tiff file, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base score: 7.1
CVSS Temporal Score: See: https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/222696 for the current score.
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H)

CVEID:CVE-2022-0891
**DESCRIPTION:**libtiff is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the ExtractImageSection function in tiffcrop.c.
