Description
A local overflow exists in LibTIFF. LibTIFF fails to decode a specially crafted image resulting in a heap-based overflow during RLE decoding in tif_next.c and in tif_thunder.c. There may be heap-based overflows when doing RLE decoding in tif_luv.c. With a specially crafted image, an attacker can cause a buffer overflow resulting in a loss of integrity.
