CVE-2026-46599
highpriority · track · 0EPSS 0.004 · 29 %ileEUFRRUUSEPSS · scored 2026-10-27
The TIFF decoder does not place a limit on the size of PackBits-compressed 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.
