HighMetricsAV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Tiffsplit versions 4.4.0 and earlier
Description
The issue is related to a stack overflow in the
TIFFVGetField function of the LibTIFF library, which can be exploited by an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) using a specially crafted TIFF file. This can be achieved when the file is parsed by utilities such as tiffsplit or tiffcrop.Recommendations
For Tiffsplit version 4.4.0 and earlier, consider updating to a version that fixes the issue in the
TIFFVGetField function to prevent potential Denial of Service attacks. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of tiffsplit and tiffcrop utilities until a patch is available. Found an issue in the description? Have something to add? Feel free to write us 👾
