CVE-2022-48281
CVSS v2.0
7.8
High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
LibTIFF versions through 4.5.0
Description
The issue is related to a heap-based buffer overflow in the
processCropSelections() function of the tools/tiffcrop.c file in the LibTIFF library. This can be exploited by a remote attacker via a crafted TIFF image, potentially leading to a denial-of-service attack. The processCropSelections() function is vulnerable to a buffer overflow, as seen in the example of a "WRITE of size 307203".Recommendations
For LibTIFF versions through 4.5.0, consider updating to a version later than 4.5.0 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of the
processCropSelections() function in the tools/tiffcrop.c file until a patch is available. Avoid processing crafted TIFF images that could trigger the buffer overflow in the processCropSelections() function.Exploit
