Descriptions

Buffer overflow in the readgifimage function in gif2tiff.c in the gif2tiff tool in LibTIFF 4.0.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) via a crafted gif file.

Desbordamiento de búfer en la función readgifimage de gif2tiff.c en la herramienta gif2tiff en LibTIFF 4.0.6 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (fallo de segmentación) a través de un archivo gif 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.
