UnknownEPSS 2.57%

Last modified

CVE-2006-3463 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The EstimateStripByteCounts function in TIFF library (libtiff) before 3.8.2 uses a 16-bit unsigned short when iterating over an unsigned 32-bit value, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service via a large td_nstrips value, which triggers an infinite loop.. EPSS estimates a 2.57% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
