LibTIFF library tiff library image decoding routines buffer overflow
| libtiff-library-decoding-bo (17703) |  High Risk |
Description:
LibTIFF is vulnerable to a heap-based overflow in the tiff library image decoding routines in the tif_next.c and tif_thunder.c files and possibly the tif_luv.c file. By creating a specially-crafted TIFF image file, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system, once the victim opens the malicious file.
