CVE-2006-2656: Libtiff

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 14.4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the tiffsplit command in libtiff 3.8.2 and earlier might might allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long filename. NOTE: tiffsplit is not setuid. If there is not a common scenario under which tiffsplit is called with attacker-controlled command line arguments, then perhaps this issue should not be included in CVE.
