Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libtiff versions 4.0.6 and earlier

Description The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the PixarLogDecode function in libtiff.so, which can be exploited by attackers using a crafted TIFF file to cause a denial of service attack, resulting in a crash. This function is used in applications such as GNOME nautilus.

Recommendations For libtiff versions 4.0.6 and earlier, update to a version later than 4.0.6 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of crafted TIFF files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
