Description
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by setting the
-v option to -1, resulting in an out-of-bounds write. This is related to the cvtClump function in the rgb2ycbcr tool.Recommendations
For LibTIFF versions 4.0.6 and earlier, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the
cvtClump function in the rgb2ycbcr tool until a patch is available. Avoid using the -v option with a value of -1 in the affected tool to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.Exploit
