Published Mar 3, 2023

Description

LibTIFF 4.4.0 has an out-of-bounds read in tiffcp in tools/tiffcp.c:948, allowing attackers to cause a denial-of-service via a crafted tiff file. For users that compile libtiff from sources, the fix is available with commit e8131125.

Remediation

Red Hat statement

libtiff is a general purpose library to manipulate TIFF images. The library itself is not used directly, it's used via another application linked with the library, which means this issue can only be triggered by an application processing untrusted images. Therefore, if there is no way an attacker can provide a crafted image to an application, it's likely not possible to exploit this CVE.
