tiff vulnerabilities

Published Feb 2, 2023 · Updated Jun 29, 2026

Summary

It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain malformed
images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a
specially crafted image, a remote attacker could crash the application,
leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code with
user privileges. This issue was only fixed in Ubuntu 14.04 ESM.
(CVE-2019-14973, CVE-2019-17546, CVE-2020-35523, CVE-2020-35524,
