Descriptions

tools/pal2rgb.c in pal2rgb in LibTIFF 4.0.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (TIFFSetupStrips heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted TIFF file.

tools/pal2rgb.c en pal2rgb en LibTIFF 4.0.7 permite que atacantes remotos provoquen una denegación de servicio (desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica o heap de TIFFSetupStrips y cierre inesperado de la aplicación) o, probablemente, causen otros impactos no especificados mediante un archivo 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.
