Introduction

Illegal read occurs in the tagCompare function in tif_dirinfo.c when using thumbnail command, which allows attackers to exploit this issue to cause denial-of-service.



/libtiff/tif_dirinfo.c: 341

tagCompare(const void* a, const void* b)

337{

338          const TIFFField* ta = *(const TIFFField**) a;

339          const TIFFField* tb = *(const TIFFField**) b;

340          /* NB: be careful of return values for 16-bit platforms */

341          if (ta->field_tag != tb->field_tag)

342                         return (int)ta->field_tag - (int)tb->field_tag;

343          else

344                         return (ta->field_type == TIFF_ANY) ?

345                                         0 : ((int)tb->field_type - (int)ta->field_type);

346}
