CVE-2012-3401

(tiff2pdf): Heap-based buffer overflow due to improper initialization of T2P context struct pointer

Published Aug 13, 2012 CVSS 2.0 · 6.8 Medium EPSS 4.1% KEV · Not listed
Description
The t2p_read_tiff_init function in tiff2pdf (tools/tiff2pdf.c) in LibTIFF 4.0.2 and earlier does not properly initialize the T2P context struct pointer in certain error conditions, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF image that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
