Heap-based buffer overflow in tif_packbits.c in libtiff 4.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to crash the application via a crafted bmp 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.
