NVD Description

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

The ZIPEncode function in tif_zip.c in the bmp2tiff tool in LibTIFF 4.0.6 and earlier, when the "-c zip" option is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) via a crafted BMP image.
