CVE-2009-0163

Publication date 23 April 2009

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

Integer overflow in the TIFF image decoding routines in CUPS 1.3.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF image, which is not properly handled by the (1) _cupsImageReadTIFF function in the imagetops filter and (2) imagetoraster filter, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.

without a reproducer, AFAICS cups with libtiff should be vulnerable as libtiff doesn't error out on images with a height (ImageLength) larger than 0x3fffffff (2^30-1)
