CVE-ID: CVE-2022-48281

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the processCropSelections() function in tools/tiffcrop.c in LibTIFF. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted TIFF image to the application, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
