Libtiff · Libtiff · CVE-2022-0891
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
libtiff library version 4.3.0
**Description**
A heap buffer overflow in the `ExtractImageSection` function in `tiffcrop.c` allows an attacker to trigger unsafe or out of bounds memory access via a crafted TIFF image file, which could result in an application crash, potential information disclosure, or any other context-dependent impact.
**Recommendations**
For libtiff library version 4.3.0, consider updating to a newer version that contains a fix for this issue, as using a crafted TIFF image file could lead to application crash or information disclosure. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the `ExtractImageSection` function in `tiffcrop.c` until a patch is available. Avoid using the `tiffcrop.c` component with untrusted TIFF image files until the issue is resolved.
