Descriptions

In LibTIFF 4.0.8, there is a memory malloc failure in tif_jbig.c. A crafted TIFF document can lead to an abort resulting in a remote denial of service attack.

En LibTIFF 4.0.8, hay una fallo en la asignación de memoria en el archivo tif_jbig.c. Un documento TIFF manipulado puede resultar en la aborción que lleva a un ataque de denegación de servicio.

It was discovered that JBIG-KIT incorrectly handled decoding certain large image files. If a user or automated system using JBIG-KIT were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
