CVE-2004-0803

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Multiple vulnerabilities in the RLE (run length encoding) decoders for libtiff 3.6.1 and earlier, related to buffer overflows and integer overflows, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via TIFF files.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can remotely execute arbitrary code on the system by opening a specially crafted TIFF file, potentially leading to data theft, malware installation, or full server compromise.

Recommendation

Immediately update libtiff to a version later than 3.6.1. If updating is not possible, restrict processing of TIFF files from untrusted sources.
