CVE-2010-2481

Publication date 6 July 2010

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

The TIFFExtractData macro in LibTIFF before 3.9.4 does not properly handle unknown tag types in TIFF directory entries, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted TIFF file.
