CVE-2019-14973 [MEDIUM] LibTIFF vulnerabilities
Title: LibTIFF vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in LibTIFF.
It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain malformed
images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a
specially crafted image, a remote attacker could crash the application,
leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code with
user privileges. This issue was only fixed in Ubuntu 14.04 ESM.
(CVE-2019-14973, CVE-2019-17546, CVE-2020-35523, CVE-2020-35524,
CVE-2022-3970)
It was discovered that LibTIFF was incorrectly acessing a data structure
when processing data with the tiffcrop tool, which could lead to a heap
buffer overflow. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a
denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2022-48281)

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this b
