CVE-2022-2869 (GCVE-0-2022-2869)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2022-08-17 00:00 – Updated: 2024-08-03 00:52
VLAI
Summary
libtiff's tiffcrop tool has a uint32_t underflow which leads to out of bounds read and write in the extractContigSamples8bits routine. An attacker who supplies a crafted file to tiffcrop could trigger this flaw, most likely by tricking a user into opening the crafted file with tiffcrop. Triggering this flaw could cause a crash or potentially further exploitation.
