CVE-2023-29408: Fedoraproject Fedora

Medium severity, CVSS 6.5. EPSS: 0.9% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The TIFF decoder does not place a limit on the size of compressed tile data. A maliciously-crafted image can exploit this to cause a small image (both in terms of pixel width/height, and encoded size) to make the decoder decode large amounts of compressed data, consuming excessive memory and CPU.

Affected products

  • Fedoraproject Fedora: version 37 only; version 38 only
  • Golang Image: before 0.10.0 (fixed in 0.10.0)
