Out of Bound Read in TIFF Library

An Out of Bound Read vulnerability exists in the TIFF Library when processing a specially crafted TIFF file. The vulnerability is caused by a missing check in the _TIFFVGetField() function in tif_dir.c, which can be triggered by a specially crafted TIFF file. This can lead to a crash or potential code execution.

Mitigation:

Upgrade to the latest version of the TIFF Library

The place of Out of bound read:

ret_val = 0;
for (i = 0; i < td->td_customValueCount; i++) {
    TIFFTagValue *tv = td->td_customValues + i;

if (tv->info->field_tag != tag)
                        continue;

------- Comment #2 From zhangtan 2017-05-15 01:29:10 -------

The place of Out of bound read:

The 1072 line of tif_dir.c

1068     ret_val = 0;
1069     for (i = 0; i < td->td_customValueCount; i++) {
1070             TIFFTagValue *tv = td->td_customValues + i;
1071                    
1072             if (tv->info->field_tag != tag)
1073                     continue;

As tv increased in 1070, Out of bound read happened in 1072 when the pointer tv
was referenced.

PoC:

Detailed information of the bug can be reproduced using the valgrind tool:

# valgrind tiffsplit $File(the testcase in the attachment)
