{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2023-2908","details":"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.","modified":"2026-02-04T04:01:18.841795Z","published":"2023-06-30T22:15:00Z","related":["USN-6290-1"],"upstream":["CVE-2023-2908"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2023-2908"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://gitlab.com/libtiff/libtiff/-/merge_requests/479"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2023-2908"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/notices/USN-6290-1"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://gitlab.com/libtiff/libtiff/-/commit/9bd48f0dbd64fb94dc2b5b05238fde0bfdd4ff3f"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2023-2908"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"tiff","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/tiff@4.0.3-7ubuntu0.11+esm9?arch=source&distro=trusty/esm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"4.0.3-7ubuntu0.11+esm9"}]}],"versions":["4.0.2-4ubuntu3","4.0.3-5ubuntu1","4.0.3-6","4.0.3-6ubuntu1","4.0.3-7","4.0.3-7ubuntu0.1","4.0.3-7ubuntu0.2","4.0.3-7ubuntu0.3","4.0.3-7ubuntu0.4","4.0.3-7ubuntu0.6","4.0.3-7ubuntu0.7","4.0.3-7ubuntu0.8","4.0.3-7ubuntu0.9","4.0.3-7ubuntu0.10","4.0.3-7ubuntu0.11","4.0.3-7ubuntu0.11+esm1","4.0.3-7ubuntu0.11+esm2","4.0.3-7ubuntu0.11+esm3","4.0.3-7ubuntu0.11+esm4","4.0.3-7ubuntu0.11+esm5","4.0.3-7ubuntu0.11+esm6","4.0.3-7ubuntu0.11+esm7","4.0.3-7ubuntu0.11+esm8"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libtiff-opengl","binary_version":"4.0.3-7ubuntu0.11+esm9"},{"binary_name":"libtiff-tools","binary_version":"4.0.3-7ubuntu0.11+esm9"},{"binary_name":"libtiff4-dev","binary_version":"4.0.3-7ubuntu0.11+esm9"},{"binary_name":"libtiff5","binary_version":"4.0.3-7ubuntu0.11+esm9"},{"binary_name":"libtiff5-alt-dev","binary_version":"4.0.3-7ubuntu0.11+esm9"},{"binary_name":"libtiff5-dev","binary_version":"4.0.3-7ubuntu0.11+esm9"},{"binary_name":"libtiffxx5","binary_version":"4.0.3-7ubuntu0.11+esm9"}],"availability":"Available
