Summary
CVE-2023-6277 is a newly discovered vulnerability affecting the libtiff library. This out-of-memory issue can be exploited by a remote attacker who crafts a malicious TIFF file. By passing this file to the TIFFOpen() API, the attacker can trigger an out-of-memory condition, leading to a denial-of-service scenario. The vulnerability lies in the way libtiff processes TIFF files smaller than 379 KB, and exploitation does not require user interaction.
