Description
LibTIFF 4.4.0 has an out-of-bounds read in tiffcrop in tools/tiffcrop.c:3400, 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 afaabc3e.
A flaw was found in tiffcrop, a program distributed by the libtiff package. A specially crafted tiff file can lead to an out-of-bounds read in the extractContigSamplesShifted8bits function in tools/tiffcrop.c, resulting in a Denial of Service and limited information disclosure.
