Summary

SixLabors ImageSharp from 2.0.0 before 4.1.2 is affected. The TIFF CCITT Group 3 encoder allocates an undersized compressed-data buffer for narrow 1-bit images, which lets it write past the output span (CWE-787). An attacker who controls the images in an encode or decode-and-re-encode flow can corrupt process memory and terminate the process. A public exploit is linked in the references.

Description from the CNA

ImageSharp is a 2D graphics library. From 2.0.0 until 4.1.2, the TIFF CCITT Group 3 encoder allocates an undersized compressed-data buffer for narrow 1-bit images. TiffCcittCompressor.Initialize does not reserve enough space for the row data and T4 end-of-line codes, and T4BitCompressor.CompressStrip reaches unchecked writes when TiffCompression.CcittGroup3Fax is selected directly or inherited from decoded TIFF metadata. An attacker-controlled encode or decode-and-re-encode flow can write beyond the logical output span, corrupt process memory, and terminate the process. This issue is fixed in version 4.1.2.
