NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libtiff package and not the libtiff package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Heap-based buffer overflow in tif_pixarlog.c in LibTIFF before 4.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF image using the PixarLog Compression format.
