Descriptions
The TIFFReadRawStrip1 and TIFFReadRawTile1 functions in tif_read.c in libtiff before 4.0.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly obtain sensitive information via a negative index in a file-content buffer.
Las funciones TIFFReadRawStrip1 y TIFFReadRawTile1 en tif_read.c en libtiff en versiones anteriores a 4.0.7 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) o posiblemente obtener información sensible a través de un índice negativo en un búfer de contenido de archivo.
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.
