DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
tiffttopnm in netpbm 10.47.63 does not properly use the libtiff TIFFRGBAImageGet function, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and write) via a crafted tiff image file, related to transposing width and height values.
