Buffer overflow in the PixarLogDecode function in libtiff.so in the PixarLogDecode function in libtiff 4.0.6 and earlier, as used in GNOME nautilus, allows attackers to cause a denial of service attack (crash) via a crafted TIFF file.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
