CVE-2022-48281 [MEDIUM] LibTIFF vulnerabilities
Title: LibTIFF vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in LibTIFF.
It was discovered that LibTIFF could be made to write out of bounds when
processing certain malformed image files with the tiffcrop utility. If a
user were tricked into opening a specially crafted image file, an attacker
could possibly use this issue to cause tiffcrop to crash, resulting in a
denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only
affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS.

CVE-2023-25433 [MEDIUM] LibTIFF vulnerabilities
Title: LibTIFF vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in LibTIFF.
It was discovered that LibTIFF was not properly handling variables used to
perform memory management operations when processing an image through
tiffcrop, 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-2023-25433, CVE-2023-26965)
It was discovered that LibTIFF was not properly processing numerical
values when dealing with little-endian input data, which could lead to the
execution of an invalid operation. An attacker could possibly use this
issue to cause a denial of service (CVE-2023-26966)

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 blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect

libtiff: Buffer Overflow via /libtiff/tools/tiffcrop.c
libtiff 4.5.0 is vulnerable to Buffer Overflow via /libtiff/tools/tiffcrop.c:8499. Incorrect updating of buffer size after rotateImage() in tiffcrop cause heap-buffer-overflow and SEGV.
A flaw was found in tiffcrop, a program distributed by the libtiff package. A specially crafted tiff file can lead to a heap-based buffer overflow in the processCropSelections function in tools/tiffcrop.c, resulting in a denial of service.
