Summary

SixLabors ImageSharp from 2.1.0 before 4.1.2 has an out-of-bounds write in its TIFF CCITT Group 4 encoder (CWE-787). The encoder allocates a buffer based on width times rows per strip, but the output can exceed it, and the writes are unchecked. A remote unauthenticated attacker can supply crafted input to a decode-and-re-encode flow, which can corrupt memory and terminate the process. A public exploit is linked in the references.

Description from the CNA

ImageSharp is a 2D graphics library. From 2.1.0 until 4.1.2, the TIFF CCITT Group 4 encoder allocates Width times rowsPerStrip bytes even though T6BitCompressor.CompressStrip can emit encoded row data and two 12-bit end-of-facsimile-block codes beyond that capacity. TiffCcittCompressor.WriteCode performs unchecked writes, and a decode-and-re-encode flow can inherit TiffCompression.CcittGroup4Fax and one-bit metadata from attacker-supplied input. The resulting out-of-bounds writes can corrupt memory and terminate the process. This issue is fixed in version 4.1.2.
