CVE-2026-46599 Details
Description
The TIFF decoder does not place a limit on the size of PackBits-compressed data. A maliciously-crafted image can exploit this to cause a small image (both in terms of pixel width/height and encoded size) to make the decoder decode large amounts of compressed data.
A vulnerability in the TIFF decoder of the Go programming language's image processing package allows for excessive resource consumption during the decompression of PackBits-compressed data. The issue arises because the decoder does not impose a limit on the size of the compressed data, enabling a small, maliciously-crafted image to cause the decoder to process large amounts of data. This vulnerability affects versions of the 'golang.org/x/image' package prior to v0.41.0.
Users can update to version v0.41.0 of the 'golang.org/x/image' package to address this vulnerability.
