Vulnerability Name:

CVE-2006-2656 (CCN-31278)

Assigned:2006-05-25
Published:2006-05-25
Updated:2023-02-13
Summary:Stack-based buffer overflow in the tiffsplit command in libtiff 3.8.2 and earlier might might allow attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long filename.
Note: tiffsplit is not setuid. If there is not a common scenario under which tiffsplit is called with attacker-controlled command line arguments, then perhaps this issue should not be included in CVE.
