NIST CVE Summary

CVE Severity
Our Official Summary
The identified out-of-memory vulnerability in libtiff, triggered by a crafted TIFF file passed to the TIFFRasterScanlineSize64() API, presents a moderate severity concern rather than a important one due to several factors. Primarily, the exploit requires the crafted input to be smaller than 379 KB, imposing a limitation on the potential impact and reducing the likelihood of successful exploitation in practical scenarios. Furthermore, the nature of the vulnerability is limited to denial-of-service attacks, which, although disruptive, do not inherently pose a direct risk of data compromise or system compromise.
Attackers will require physical access to the underlying cluster to exploit this. Controls in place such as non-privileged container without interactive shell access will make it difficult to execute any code to exploit this vulnerability. Once the upstream fix is available, we will incorporate the fix.
