CVE-2017-11613 (GCVE-0-2017-11613)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2017-07-26 08:00 – Updated: 2024-08-05 18:12
VLAI
Summary
In LibTIFF 4.0.8, there is a denial of service vulnerability in the TIFFOpen function. A crafted input will lead to a denial of service attack. During the TIFFOpen process, td_imagelength is not checked. The value of td_imagelength can be directly controlled by an input file. In the ChopUpSingleUncompressedStrip function, the _TIFFCheckMalloc function is called based on td_imagelength. If we set the value of td_imagelength close to the amount of system memory, it will hang the system or trigger the OOM killer.
