UnknownEPSS 4.08%

Last modified

CVE-2006-3460 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Heap-based buffer overflow in the JPEG decoder in the TIFF library (libtiff) before 3.8.2 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via an encoded JPEG stream that is longer than the scan line size (TiffScanLineSize).. EPSS estimates a 4.08% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Description
