CVE-2017-9117

Published: May 21, 2017

Modified: Jan 7, 2025

PUBLISHED

CVSS v3.1

4.0

MEDIUM

Description

In LibTIFF 4.0.6 and possibly other versions, the program processes BMP images without verifying that biWidth and biHeight in the bitmap-information header match the actual input, as demonstrated by a heap-based buffer over-read in bmp2tiff. NOTE: mentioning bmp2tiff does not imply that the activation point is in the bmp2tiff.c file (which was removed before the 4.0.7 release).
