Unknown · Tiff Decoder · CVE-2023-29408
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Golang (affected versions not specified)
TIFF decoder (affected versions not specified)
**Description**
The issue is related to the decoding of large amounts of compressed data, which can consume excessive memory and CPU. A maliciously-crafted image can exploit this to cause a small image to make the decoder decode large amounts of compressed data. This can lead to a denial of service. The estimated number of potentially affected devices worldwide is not available. There is no information about real-world incidents where this issue was exploited.
**Recommendations**
For Golang, consider restricting the use of the TIFF decoder until a patch is available.
For the TIFF decoder, as a temporary workaround, consider limiting the size of compressed tile data to prevent excessive memory and CPU consumption.
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
