Descriptions

ChopUpSingleUncompressedStrip in tif_dirread.c in LibTIFF 4.0.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted TIFF file, as demonstrated by tiff2pdf.

ChopUpSingleUncompressedStrip en tif_dirread.c en LibTIFF 4.0.9 permite que atacantes remotos provoquen una denegación de servicio (desbordamiento de búfer y caída de aplicación basada en memoria dinámica o heap) o, probablemente, provocar cualquier otro tipo de problema mediante un archivo TIFF manipulado, tal y como queda demostrado con tiff2pdf.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the libtiff library and the included tools, which may result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if malformed image files are processed.
