USN-3602-1: LibTIFF vulnerabilities


==========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3602-1
March 20, 2018

tiff vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

LibTIFF could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a
specially crafted file.

Software Description:
- tiff: Tag Image File Format (TIFF) library

Details:

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.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
libtiff-tools 4.0.6-1ubuntu0.3
libtiff5 4.0.6-1ubuntu0.3

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
libtiff-tools 4.0.3-7ubuntu0.8
libtiff5 4.0.3-7ubuntu0.8

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

USN-3603-1: Paramiko vulnerability



=========================================================================
Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3603-1
March 20, 2018

paramiko vulnerability
=========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 17.10
- Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

Paramiko could be made to run programs if it received specially
crafted network traffic.

Software Description:
- paramiko: Python SSH2 library

Details:

Matthijs Kooijman discovered that Paramiko's SSH server implementation
did not properly require authentication before processing requests. An
unauthenticated remote attacker could possibly use this to execute
arbitrary code.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 17.10:
python-paramiko 2.0.0-1ubuntu0.1
python3-paramiko 2.0.0-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
python-paramiko 1.16.0-1ubuntu0.1
python3-paramiko 1.16.0-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
python-paramiko 1.10.1-1git1ubuntu0.1

After a standard system update you need to restart any applications
using Paramiko's server implementation to make all the necessary changes.
