An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-8668 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Libtiff Libtiff. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8668/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8668/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-8668","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8668/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-8668","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2015-8668","GHSA-mgjx-j5p2-m66r","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-8668"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"libtiff image library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via a crafted BMP image due to a heap buffer overflow in libtiff.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"libtiff","vendor":"libtiff"},{"product":"linux","vendor":"oracle"},{"product":"vm_server","vendor":"oracle"},{"product":"enterprise_linux","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_desktop","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_workstation","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"Heap-based buffer overflow in the PackBitsPreEncode function in tif_packbits.c in bmp2tiff in libtiff 4.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via a large width field in a BMP image.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8668","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"libtiff:libtiff","products":["libtiff:libtiff","oracle:linux","redhat:enterprise_linux","redhat:enterprise_linux_desktop","redhat:enterprise_linux_workstation"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8669"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8667"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-01-08","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-1308","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-12-22"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0929","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-10-26"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-61144","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-23"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9533","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-22"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9534","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-22"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9535","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-22"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9536","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-22"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via a crafted BMP image due to a heap buffer overflow in libtiff.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-8668/"}
