An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-12944 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Libtiff Libtiff. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-12944/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-12944/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-12944","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-12944/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-12944","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2017-12944","GHSA-r6g8-rrwj-46q5","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-12944"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"LibTIFF library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service via memory allocation failure in LibTIFF when processing short TIFF files.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"libtiff","vendor":"libtiff"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-770","name":"Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling"}],"description":"The TIFFReadDirEntryArray function in tif_read.c in LibTIFF 4.0.8 mishandles memory allocation for short files, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (allocation failure and application crash) in the TIFFFetchStripThing function in tif_dirread.c during a tiff2pdf invocation.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-12944","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"libtiff:libtiff","products":["libtiff:libtiff"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-12945"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-12943"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-08-18","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-1308","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-12-22"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0929","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-10-26"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-61144","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-23"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9533","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-22"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9534","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-22"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9535","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-22"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-9536","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-22"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service via memory allocation failure in LibTIFF when processing short TIFF files.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-12944/"}
