Descriptions

The TIFFWriteDirectoryTagCheckedRational function in tif_dirwrite.c in LibTIFF 4.0.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit) via a crafted TIFF file.

La función TIFFWriteDirectoryTagCheckedRational en tif_dirwrite.c en LibTIFF 4.0.6 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (fallo de aserción y salida de la aplicación) a través de un archivo TIFF manipulado

It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain malformed images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, a remote attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges.
