CVE-2023-29408: Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling

August 2, 2023 (updated November 7, 2023)

The TIFF decoder does not place a limit on the size of compressed tile data. A maliciously-crafted image can exploit this to cause a small image (both in terms of pixel width/height, and encoded size) to make the decoder decode large amounts of compressed data, consuming excessive memory and CPU.
