Descriptions
The setByteArray function in tif_dir.c in libtiff 4.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted tiff image.
La función setByteArray en tif_dir.c en libtiff 4.0.6 y versiones anteriores permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (lectura fuera de límites) a través de una imagen tiff manipulada.
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.
