REDHAT-BUG-2450768: Integer Overflow

Published Mar 24, 2026
·
Updated

A flaw was found in the libtiff library. A signed integer overflow exists in the putcontig8bitYCbCr44tile function (and potentially similar functions like putcontig8bitYCbCr42tile, putcontig8bitYCbCr22tile, and putcontig8bitYCbCr12tile) within tif_getimage.c. When processing a specially crafted TIFF file with an extremely large width and specific YCbCr subsampling, the calculation for the pointer progression variable (incr) can overflow the 32-bit signed integer boundary. This results in an incorrect negative progression of memory pointers, leading to an out-of-bounds heap write. An attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service (application crash) or potentially execute arbitrary code.
