Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to NULL Pointer Dereference via iPS_Lvl2page() while converting the image to PostScript Level 2 output. An attacker can cause denial of service by providing a specially crafted TIFF file.

Note: This is only exploitable if DEFER_STRILE_LOAD (defer-strile-load:BOOL=ON) is used.
