Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions LibTIFF version 4.0.6 and earlier

Description The issue is related to a heap-based buffer overflow in the horizontalDifference8 function in tif pixarlog.c. This can be triggered by remote attackers using a crafted TIFF image to cause a denial of service (crash) or potentially execute arbitrary code.

Recommendations For LibTIFF version 4.0.6 and earlier, consider updating to a newer version that addresses this issue. As a temporary workaround, restrict the processing of TIFF images from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation.
