libtiff is vulnerable to denial of service (DoS). The vulnerability exists as a buffer underwrite flaw was found in libtiff’s Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) compression algorithm decoder. An attacker could create a specially-crafted LZW-encoded TIFF file, which once opened by an unsuspecting user, would cause an application linked with libtiff to access an out-of-bounds memory location, leading to a denial of service (application crash).
