CVE-2026-33809

MediumCVSS 5.3
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

A maliciously crafted TIFF file can cause image decoding to attempt to allocate up to 4GiB of memory, causing either excessive resource consumption or an out-of-memory error.

Risk Assessment

An attacker can supply a malicious TIFF file that, when processed by an application, exhausts memory, leading to denial of service (DoS) or application crash. This can disrupt the availability of systems processing images.

Recommendation

Update the image processing library to a version containing the fix. Consider limiting the size of processed TIFF files or implementing memory limits for image decoding processes.
