CVE-2012-3401

Description

The t2p_read_tiff_init function in tiff2pdf tools/tiff2pdf.c in LibTIFF 4.0.2 and earlier does not properly initialize the T2P context struct pointer in certain error conditions, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service crash and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF image that triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
