CVE-2006-2193
EPSS 0.64%tiff - buffer overflows
Published: 6/8/2006Modified: 4/28/2026
Description
Buffer overflow in the t2p_write_pdf_string function in tiff2pdf in libtiff 3.8.2 and earlier allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a TIFF file with a DocumentName tag that contains UTF-8 characters, which triggers the overflow when a character is sign extended to an integer that produces more digits than expected in an sprintf call.
Affected packages (2)
- Debian/tifffrom 0, < 3.8.2-4
- Debian/tifffrom 0, < 3.5.5-7woody2
