libtiff: heap-buffer overflow via extractContigSamplesBytes() at /libtiff/tools/tiffcrop.c
libtiff 4.5.0 is vulnerable to Buffer Overflow via extractContigSamplesBytes() at /libtiff/tools/tiffcrop.c:3215.
A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in LibTIFF's tiffcrop utility in the extractContigSamplesBytes() function. This flaw allows an attacker to pass a crafted TIFF image file to the tiffcrop utility, which causes an out-of-bounds read access resulting in an application crash, eventually leading to a denial of service.
Statement: This vulnerability in tiffcrop is classified as moderate severity rather than important because, while it leads to a denial of service (DoS) via a crash, the impact is not critical in terms of system compromise or data loss. The vulnerability, c

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.
