Low

Base vector

AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Apple OS X versions 10.4.7 and earlier

Description The issue allows remote user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service, potentially leading to an application crash, by exploiting an invalid tag value in a TIFF image. This could possibly trigger a null dereference.

Recommendations For Apple OS X versions 10.4.7 and earlier, consider updating to a newer version to mitigate the risk of exploitation. As a temporary workaround, restrict the handling of TIFF images from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of triggering the denial of service.
