NVD Description

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

There is a heap based buffer overflow in tools/tiff2pdf.c of LibTIFF 4.0.8 via a PlanarConfig=Contig image, which causes a more than one hundred bytes out-of-bounds write (related to the ZIPDecode function in tif_zip.c). A crafted input may lead to a remote denial of service attack or an arbitrary code execution attack.
