CVE-2017-9117

Summary

CVE-2017-9117 is a vulnerability affecting LibTIFF version 4.0.6 and possibly older releases. The issue involves processing BMP images without proper verification of their bitmap-information header dimensions, resulting in a heap-based buffer over-read in the bmp2tiff module. This vulnerability does not necessarily imply that the issue lies within the bmp2tiff.c file, but instead stems from the LibTIFF software's failure to validate the biWidth and biHeight fields before processing the input.
