NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tiff package and not the tiff package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Out-of-bounds read in the PixarLogCleanup function in tif_pixarlog.c in libtiff 4.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to crash the application by sending a crafted TIFF image to the rgb2ycbcr tool.
