Discussion

Apple Safari ImageIO TIFF Image Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Safari is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability because it fails to properly handle crafted TIFF images.

Attackers may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the application. Failed attacks will result in a denial-of-service condition.

Versions prior to Safari 4.0.5 running on Microsoft Windows 7, XP, and Vista are vulnerable.

This issue was previously documented in BID 38671 (Apple Safari Prior to 4.0.5 Multiple Security Vulnerabilities) but has been given its own record to better document it.
