Descriptions

newoffsets handling in 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. This is a different vulnerability than CVE-2018-15209.

El manejo de newoffsets en ChopUpSingleUncompressedStrip en tif_dirread.c en LibTIFF 4.0.9 permite que atacantes remotos provoquen una denegación de servicio (desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica o heap y cierre inesperado de la aplicación) o, probablemente, provocar cualquier otro tipo de problema mediante un archivo TIFF manipulado, tal y como queda demostrado con tiff2pdf. Esta vulnerabilidad es diferente de CVE-2018-15209.

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.
