CVE-2014-8130 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 libtiff.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libtiff package and not the libtiff package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:10 relevant fixed versions and status.
The _TIFFmalloc function in tif_unix.c in LibTIFF 4.0.3 does not reject a zero size, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via a crafted TIFF image that is mishandled by the TIFFWriteScanline function in tif_write.c, as demonstrated by tiffdither.
