Description
Summary
`SixLabors.ImageSharp` 4.1.1 can spend an attacker-controlled duration decoding a
small malformed BigTIFF. The BigTIFF IFD entry-count field is 64-bit. The reader
iterates once per declared entry, but when fewer than 20 bytes remain for an entry,
the entry read returns without advancing. A 24-byte input can therefore run billions
of iterations without consuming input.
One decoder invocation occupied one executing thread for more than five seconds in
the tested environment. This report makes no worker-pool exhaustion claim.
