CVE-2011-0192: Buffer Overflow

First published: Fri Feb 18 2011(Updated: )

A heap-based buffer overflow was found in the way TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) image files manipulating library expanded certain rows of 2D-encoded data, when processing TIFF Internet Fax image files, compressed with CCITT group 4 compression algorithm. If an attacker created a specially-crafted image file and tricked a local, unsuspecting user into loading the image file in an application that uses the TIFF image manipulating library, it could cause that application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
