Description Andrej Nemec 2018-06-27 07:48:55 UTC 
Heap-based buffer overflow in the cpSeparateBufToContigBuf function in tiffcp.c in LibTIFF 4.0.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted TIFF file.

Comment 3 Riccardo Schirone 2018-07-12 08:22:46 UTC 
Raised CVSSv3 to 5.3/CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L because I do not exclude something more than a simple crash is possible with this flaw. Indeed you can overwrite many bytes after the limits of an heap-allocated buffer, thus code execution through heap manipulation is not excluded.
Comment 5 Riccardo Schirone 2018-07-12 08:42:43 UTC 
The flaw is in the tiffcp binary and not in the libtiff library, thus programs that use libtiff are not affected.
Comment 7 Riccardo Schirone 2018-07-12 08:51:39 UTC 
Patch is not available upstream yet.
