Description

In LibTIFF 4.0.9, there is an uncontrolled resource consumption in the TIFFSetDirectory function of tif_dir.c. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted tif file. This occurs because the declared number of directory entries is not validated against the actual number of directory entries.

Solution(s)

  • huawei-euleros-2_0_sp2-upgrade-libtiff
  • huawei-euleros-2_0_sp2-upgrade-libtiff-devel
