CVE-2026-46599
Last modified
CVE-2026-46599 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. The TIFF decoder does not place a limit on the size of PackBits-compressed data. A maliciously-crafted image can exploit this to cause a small image (both in terms of pixel width/height and encoded size) to make the decoder decode large amounts of compressed data.. EPSS estimates a 0.35% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
