CVE-2024-7006
This issue may allow an attacker to trigger memory allocation failures through certain means, such as restricting the heap space size or injecting faults, causing a segmentation fault.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.52%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
A null pointer dereference flaw was found in Libtiff via `tif_dirinfo.c`. This issue may allow an attacker to trigger memory allocation failures through certain means, such as restricting the heap space size or injecting faults, causing a segmentation fault. This can cause an application crash, eventually leading to a denial of service.
