Subject: DoS in libtiff
Hi,
We found a DoS using a crafted tiff file that causes a OOM kill in low memory
system (usually less than 3GB). This was tested in Ubuntu 14.04 (64bit) but the
issue exists even in the CVS libtiff version. Please find attached the
compressed test case (otherwise it can kill my browser since gdk-pixbuf is
loading tiff files in the preview dialog!). You can test it executing:
$ tiffdither oom.tif /dev/null
If you run it with ltrace, you can see some very large reallocs:
libtiff.so.5->realloc(0, 1636178024)
= 0x7f71a42b6010
libtiff.so.5->realloc(0, 1636178024)
= 0x7f7142a54010
Upstream was notified but there is still no fix.
Regards,
Gustavo.
