LibTIFF tiffdump buffer overflow
| libtiff-tiffdump-bo (18782) |  High Risk |
Description:
LibTIFF is vulnerable to a buffer overflow in the tiffdump utility. By sending a specially-crafted TIFF image file, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or possibly cause a denial of service, once the file is processed.
