Last modified

CVE-2009-0163 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Integer overflow in the TIFF image decoding routines in CUPS 1.3.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF image, which is not properly handled by the (1) _cupsImageReadTIFF function in the imagetops filter and (2) imagetoraster filter, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.. EPSS estimates a 4.25% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
