CVSS 3.1
5.5 mediumCVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2023-2908
Medium (5.5) in libtiff libtiff. EPSS 0.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
A null pointer dereference issue was found in Libtiff's tif_dir.c file. This issue may allow an attacker to pass a crafted TIFF image file to the tiffcp utility which triggers a runtime error that causes undefined behavior. This will result in an application crash, eventually leading to a denial of service.
