CVE-2011-1167: Buffer Overflow

First published: Mon Mar 14 2011(Updated: )

A flaw was reported in libtiff's thunder decoder. The thunder decoder assumes 4bits per pixel, but if a file has bitpersample set to a smaller value, or defaulted (1) then the allocated strip buffer will be too small, and a heap-based buffer overlow may occur. This could be used to crash an application linked to libtiff, or execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application opening a malicious TIFF file.
