CVE-2006-2193
CVSS v2.0
9.3
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions:
libtiff versions 3.8.2 and earlier
libtiff versions 3.6.1 and earlier
Description:
The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the t2p write pdf string function in tiff2pdf, which can be triggered by a TIFF file with a DocumentName tag containing UTF-8 characters. This can cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly allow the execution of arbitrary code. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely, potentially leading to a violation of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information.
Recommendations:
For libtiff versions 3.8.2 and earlier, update to a version later than 3.8.2 to resolve the issue.
For libtiff versions 3.6.1 and earlier, update to a version later than 3.6.1 to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to TIFF files with UTF-8 characters in the DocumentName tag to minimize the risk of exploitation.
