Descriptions

The t2p_readwrite_pdf_image_tile function in LibTIFF allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a JPEG file with a TIFFTAG_JPEGTABLES of length one.

La función t2p_readwrite_pdf_image_tile en LibTIFF permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (escritura fuera de limites y caída) o posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un archivo JPEG manipulado con TIFFTAG_JPEGTABLES de longitud uno.

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.
