7.5 HIGH — AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Description

Buffer overflow in the t2p_write_pdf_string function in tiff2pdf in libtiff 3.8.2 and earlier allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a TIFF file with a DocumentName tag that contains UTF-8 characters, which triggers the overflow when a character is sign extended to an integer that produces more digits than expected in an sprintf call.

Affected configurations

• libtiff libtiff (<= 3.8.2) • libtiff libtiff 3.4 • libtiff libtiff 3.5.1 • libtiff libtiff 3.5.2 • libtiff libtiff 3.5.3 • libtiff libtiff 3.5.4 • libtiff libtiff 3.5.5 • libtiff libtiff 3.5.6 • libtiff libtiff 3.5.7 • libtiff libtiff 3.6.0 • libtiff libtiff 3.6.1 • libtiff libtiff 3.7.0 • libtiff libtiff 3.7.1 • libtiff libtiff 3.8.0 • libtiff libtiff 3.8.1
