The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 20.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4755-1 advisory.

  • An integer overflow flaw was found in libtiff that exists in the tif_getimage.c file. This flaw allows an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code when a user opens a crafted TIFF file. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-35523)

  • A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in libtiff in the handling of TIFF images in libtiff’s TIFF2PDF tool. A specially crafted TIFF file can lead to arbitrary code execution. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-35524)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
