[3.5] tiff: uncontrolled resource consumption in TIFFSetDirectory function in tif_dir.c (CVE-2018-5784)| ID: oval:org.secpod.oval:def:1800957 | Date: (C)2018-04-04 (M)2022-08-25 |
| Class: PATCH | Family: unix |
In LibTIFF 4.0.9, there is an uncontrolled resource consumption in the TIFFSetDirectory function of tif_dir.c. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted tif file. This occurs because the declared number of directory entries is not validated against the actual number of directory entries.

| Alpine Linux 3.5 |
