CVE-2012-2088
libtiff < 3.9.4 - Denial of Service and Remote Code Execution via Negative Tile Depth
Title source: llmDescription
Integer signedness error in the TIFFReadDirectory function in tif_dirread.c in libtiff 3.9.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a negative tile depth in a tiff image, which triggers an improper conversion between signed and unsigned types, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.
