MEDIUM6.5EPSS 0.46%

Excessive resource consumption in golang.org/x/image/tiff

Published: 8/2/2023Modified: 4/28/2026

Description

The TIFF decoder does not place a limit on the size of compressed tile 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, consuming excessive memory and CPU.
