CVE-2006-2656 describes a stack-based buffer overflow in the tiffsplit command within libtiff versions 3.8.2 and earlier. An attacker could potentially execute arbitrary code by providing a specially crafted, long filename as input to tiffsplit. This vulnerability has a CVSS score of 7.5, indicating high severity due to its network-based attack vector, low complexity, and potential for partial compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. While not actively exploited in the wild (no KEV or Hot List entry), public exploit code exists, and its EPSS score suggests a higher-than-average likelihood of exploitation.
