Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in LibTIFF 4.0.3 (Image Processing Software). This affects the function TIFFWriteScanline of the file tif_unix.c of the component TIFF Image Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a divide by zero vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-369. The product divides a value by zero. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

The _TIFFmalloc function in tif_unix.c in LibTIFF 4.0.3 does not reject a zero size, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via a crafted TIFF image that is mishandled by the TIFFWriteScanline function in tif_write.c, as demonstrated by tiffdither.

The bug was discovered 01/26/2015. The weakness was disclosed 03/12/2018 (oss-sec). The advisory is shared at openwall.com.
