Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, has been found in LibTIFF (Image Processing Software). Affected by this issue is some unknown functionality. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a null pointer dereference vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-476. A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit. Impacted is availability. CVE summarizes:

LibTIFF 3.9.4 and earlier does not properly handle an invalid td_stripbytecount field, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted TIFF file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2010-2443.

The weakness was published 07/06/2010 by Dan Rosenberg with CERT-FI as Bug 608010 as not defined bug report (Bugzilla). The advisory is available at bugzilla.redhat.com. This vulnerability is handled as CVE-2010-2482. The attack may be launched remotely. No form of authentication is required for exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available.

The exploit is available at exploit-db.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept.
