CVE-2006-3356

Status: ModifiedLow (2.6)—

The TIFFFetchAnyArray function in ImageIO in Apple OS X 10.4.7 and earlier allows remote user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via an invalid tag value in a TIFF image, possibly triggering a null dereference. NOTE: This is a different issue than CVE-2006-1469.
