Descriptions

The NeXTDecode function in tif_next.c in LibTIFF allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a crafted TIFF image, as demonstrated by libtiff5.tif.

La función NeXTDecode en tif_next.c en LibTIFF permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (escritura fuera de rango) a través de una imagen TIFF manipulada, según lo demostrado por libtiff5.tif.

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.
