CVE-2024-24792  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-129  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

A fix was pushed into the master branch but not yet published.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Validation of Array Index due to improper sanitization of palette indices when parsing palette-color images. An attacker could craft a malicious image with color indices out of range of the actual palette, which will eventually result in a panic when the consumer tries to read the color at any corrupted pixel.

Note:

This issue was reported before as CVE-2023-36308.

PoC

package main

import (
    "fmt"
    "os"

    "golang.org/x/image/tiff"
)

func main() {
    if len(os.Args) != 2 {
        fmt.Fprintf(os.Stderr, "Usage: %v <filename>")
        os.Exit(1)
    }
    f, err := os.Open(os.Args[1])
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }
    defer f.Close()

    img, err := tiff.Decode(f)
    if err != nil {
        panic(err)
    }

    b := img.Bounds()
    for x := b.Min.X; x <= b.Max.X; x++ {
        for y := b.Min.Y; y <= b.Max.Y; y++ {
            _ = img.At(x, y)
        }
    }
