Summary

CVE-2023-6277 is a newly discovered vulnerability affecting the libtiff library. This out-of-memory issue can be exploited by a remote attacker who crafts a malicious TIFF file. By passing this file to the TIFFOpen() API, the attacker can trigger an out-of-memory condition, leading to a denial-of-service scenario. The vulnerability lies in the way libtiff processes TIFF files smaller than 379 KB, and exploitation does not require user interaction. System administrators are advised to apply the necessary patches as soon as possible to mitigate this risk.
