Signed Integer Overflow in libtiff Causes Remote Code Execution

Publication date: 2026-03-24

Last updated on: 2026-04-30

Assigner: Red Hat, Inc.

Description
A flaw was found in the libtiff library. A remote attacker could exploit a signed integer overflow vulnerability in the putcontig8bitYCbCr44tile function by providing a specially crafted TIFF file. This flaw can lead to an out-of-bounds heap write due to incorrect memory pointer calculations, potentially causing a denial of service (application crash) or arbitrary code execution.

CWE ID Description
CWE-190 The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?

This vulnerability is a flaw in the libtiff library involving a signed integer overflow in the putcontig8bitYCbCr44tile function. A remote attacker can exploit this by providing a specially crafted TIFF file.

The flaw causes incorrect memory pointer calculations, which can lead to an out-of-bounds heap write.

This can result in a denial of service (application crash) or allow arbitrary code execution.


How can this vulnerability impact me? :

Exploitation of this vulnerability can cause an application using the libtiff library to crash, resulting in denial of service.

More seriously, it could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected system, potentially leading to unauthorized access or control.
