Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, has been found in libtiff 3.8.1 (Image Processing Software). This issue affects an unknown function of the component JPEG Decoder. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Heap-based buffer overflow in the JPEG decoder in the TIFF library (libtiff) before 3.8.2 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via an encoded JPEG stream that is longer than the scan line size (TiffScanLineSize).
