Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read via the cfImageLut function when processing TIFF image files. An attacker can cause out-of-bounds memory access by submitting a crafted TIFF file as a print job and manipulating print job options to control the bytes-per-pixel value, leading to potential information disclosure or modification of memory.

Note: This is only exploitable if the attacker can submit print jobs and select a printer configuration that invokes the imagetoraster filter or its C-function equivalent.
