Descriptions

Stack-based buffer overflow in the _TIFFVGetField function in libtiff 4.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to crash the application via a crafted tiff.

Desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila en la función _TIFFVGetField en libtiff 4.0.6 y versiones anteriores permite a atacantes remotos bloquear la aplicación a través de un 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.
