Description:
6
 
 In LibTIFF 4.0.8, there is a memory malloc failure in tif_jbig.c. A crafted
7
 
 TIFF document can lead to an abort resulting in a remote denial of service
8
 
 attack.

Notes:

 mdeslaur> reported in libtiff, but issue lies in jbigkit
12
 
 mdeslaur> as of 2018-03-22, no fix available
13
 
 mdeslaur>
14
 
 mdeslaur> this is a DoS only and is caused by the fact that jbigkit
15
 
 mdeslaur> handles failed memory allocations with abort(). (See
16
 
 mdeslaur> checked_malloc()). Fixing this properly would likely require
17
 
 mdeslaur> changing the library ABI.
