Descriptions

The TIFFVStripSize function in tif_strip.c in LibTIFF 3.9.0 and 3.9.2 makes incorrect calls to the TIFFGetField function, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted TIFF image, related to "downsampled OJPEG input" and possibly related to a compiler optimization that triggers a divide-by-zero error.

La función TIFFVStripSize en tif_strip.c en LibTIFF v3.9.0 y v3.9.2 realiza llamadas a la función incorrecta TIFFGetField, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (por caída de la aplicación) a través de una imagen TIFF debidamente modificada. Se trata de una vulnerbilidad relacionada con "downsampled OJPEG input" y posiblemente relacionadas con una optimización de compilador que provoca un error de división por cero.
