UnknownEPSS 2.79%

Last modified Jun 16, 2026

CVE-2010-2597 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The TIFFVStripSize function in tif_strip.c in LibTIFF 3.9.0 and 3.9.2 makes incorrect calls to the TIFFGetField function, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted TIFF image, related to "downsampled OJPEG input" and possibly related to a compiler optimization that triggers a divide-by-zero error.. EPSS estimates a 2.79% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
