CVE-2004-0929

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Heap-based buffer overflow in the OJPEGVSetField function in tif_ojpeg.c for libtiff 3.6.1 and earlier, when compiled with the OJPEG_SUPPORT (old JPEG support) option, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a malformed TIFF image.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can remotely execute arbitrary code on the vulnerable system by exploiting a malformed TIFF image, leading to compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Recommendation

Update libtiff to a version later than 3.6.1 or disable the OJPEG_SUPPORT option during compilation if not needed.
