Last modified

CVE-2015-8870 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. Integer overflow in tools/bmp2tiff.c in LibTIFF before 4.0.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read), or possibly obtain sensitive information from process memory, via crafted width and length values in RLE4 or RLE8 data in a BMP file.. EPSS estimates a 2.00% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
