Vulnerability Spotlight: LibTIFF Issues Lead To Code Execution

Talos is releasing multiple vulnerabilities in the LibTIFF library. One vulnerability (TALOS-2016-0187) is an exploitable heap based buffer overflow in the handling of compressed TIFF images. The final vulnerability is present in the Tiff2PDF tool that is bundled with LibTiff, when the TIFF file uses JPEG compression. An attacker who can trick a user into processing a malformed TIFF document can use one of these vulnerabilities to achieve remote code execution on the targeted system.”]
