What to do

AI-suggested

Until a fix is available, avoid processing untrusted TIFF images with the vulnerable libtiff rgb2ycbcr utility to reduce risk.

Description

CVE-2026-52492 is an integer overflow vulnerability in the libtiff library's rgb2ycbcr utility, specifically in the cvtRaster() function. This flaw occurs when computing strip buffer sizes, leading to an undersized heap allocation. The resulting heap-based buffer overflow can be triggered during the YCbCr conversion of a crafted TIFF image. The vulnerability has a high severity rating with a CVSS score of 7.8.
