CVE-2006-3459 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the TIFF library (libtiff) before 3.8.2, as used in Adobe Reader 9.3.0 and other products, allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors, including a large tdir_count value in the TIFFFetchShortPair function in tif_dirread.c.. EPSS estimates a 50.98% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
