LibTIFF Remote Buffer-Underflow Vulnerability
LibTIFF is prone to a remote buffer-underflow vulnerability because it fails to perform adequate boundary checks on user-supplied data. An attacker can exploit this issue to execute arbitrary malicious code in the context of a user running an application that uses the affected library. Failed exploit attempts will likely crash the application.
Mitigation:
Users should apply the patch from the vendor as soon as possible.
