AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2026-46604 is an out-of-bounds read vulnerability (CWE-125) in the TIFF decoder of the golang.org/x/image/tiff package. When decoding a specially crafted invalid TIFF image containing an out-of-bounds strip offset, the decoder can panic, leading to an application crash. This vulnerability affects all versions before 0.43.0. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.5, reflecting a network attack vector with low complexity and no privileges or user interaction required, resulting in high impact on availability but no impact on confidentiality or integrity.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation causes a denial of service by crashing the TIFF decoder, impacting availability of applications using this library for TIFF image processing. There is no impact on confidentiality or integrity. No known exploits are reported in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation level is currently documented. Users should upgrade to version 0.43.0 or later once available, as versions prior to 0.43.0 are affected. Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance.
