Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in LibTIFF, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or to potentially compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to errors within the "LZWDecode()" and "LZWDecodeCompat()" functions in libtiff/tif_lzw.c. These can be exploited to cause a buffer underflow via a specially crafted TIFF file.
The vulnerability is reported in version 3.8.2. Other versions may also be affected.
