CVE-2023-1916

A flaw was found in tiffcrop, a program distributed by the libtiff package. A specially crafted tiff file can lead to an out-of-bounds read in the extractImageSection function in tools/tiffcrop.c, resulting in a denial of service and limited information disclosure.

This flaw has been rated with a low severity because it affects only the tiffcrop utility rather than the libtiff library itself. Additionally, a user would need to run the tiffcrop utility with a malicious file supplied by the attacker, most likely resulting in denial of service.
