Descriptions
The putcontig8bitCIELab function in tif_getimage.c in LibTIFF 4.0.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a packed TIFF image.
La función putcontig8bitCIELab en tif_getimage.c en LibTIFF 4.0.6 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (lectura fuera de rango) a través de una imagen TIFF comprimida.
The libtiff packages contain a library of functions for manipulating Tagged Image File Format files. Security Fix: Multiple flaws have been discovered in libtiff. A remote attacker could exploit these flaws to cause a crash or memory corruption and, possibly, execute arbitrary code by tricking an application linked against libtiff into processing specially crafted files.
