Description

TIFF library (libtiff) before 3.8.2 allows context-dependent attackers to pass numeric range checks and possibly execute code, and trigger assert errors, via large offset values in a TIFF directory that lead to an integer overflow and other unspecified vectors involving "unchecked arithmetic operations".

Solution(s)

  • gentoo-linux-upgrade-media-libs-tiff

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
