Vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Exploitability: 10.0 / Impact: 6.4

Source: NVD

Description

Stack-based buffer overflow in the tiffsplit command in libtiff 3.8.2 and earlier might might allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long filename. NOTE: tiffsplit is not setuid. If there is not a common scenario under which tiffsplit is called with attacker-controlled command line arguments, then perhaps this issue should not be included in CVE.

Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer

This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
