Libtiff · Libtiff · CVE-2022-3598
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
LibTIFF version 4.4.0
**Description**
The issue is related to an out-of-bounds write in the `extractContigSamplesShifted24bits` function, allowing attackers to cause a denial-of-service via a crafted tiff file. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to disrupt service.
**Recommendations**
For LibTIFF version 4.4.0, users who compile libtiff from sources can apply the fix available with commit cfbb883b. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `extractContigSamplesShifted24bits` function in tools/tiffcrop.c until a patch is available.
