libtiff is vulnerable to arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability exists as multiple uses of uninitialized values were discovered in libtiff’s Lempel-Ziv-Welch (LZW) compression algorithm decoder. An attacker could create a carefully crafted LZW-encoded TIFF file that would cause an application linked with libtiff to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
