CVE-2026-18495
Published:September 11, 2026
Updated:September 22, 2026
A flaw was found in libtiff. A heap-buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the "tiff2pdf" utility due to an integer truncation error when processing crafted BigTIFF files. An attacker can provide a specially crafted BigTIFF file, causing a 64-bit "StripByteCounts" value to be truncated to a 32-bit integer. This leads to an undersized memory allocation and a subsequent out-of-bounds memory copy, resulting in a crash and severe memory corruption.
