CVE-2010-2233

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.5)—

tif_getimage.c in LibTIFF 3.9.0 and 3.9.2 on 64-bit platforms, as used in ImageMagick, does not properly perform vertical flips, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF image, related to "downsampled OJPEG input."

CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
Base score: 7.5

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 4.50%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 91
Score date: 10/7/2026

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
