Last modified

CVE-2012-2088 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Integer signedness error in the TIFFReadDirectory function in tif_dirread.c in libtiff 3.9.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a negative tile depth in a tiff image, which triggers an improper conversion between signed and unsigned types, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.. EPSS estimates a 6.46% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
