26
FAUCET Score

CVE-2016-10093 describes an integer overflow vulnerability in the tiffcp.c tool within multiple versions of LibTIFF, ranging from 3.9.3 to 4.0.7. This flaw allows remote attackers to trigger a heap-based buffer overflow, leading to unspecified but potentially severe impact, by providing a specially crafted image file. With a CVSS v3 score of 7.8 (High), this vulnerability requires user interaction (UI:R) and local access (AV:L) but can result in high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts (C:H/I:H/A:H). There is no evidence of active exploitation, no known public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and minimal community discussion, suggesting it is not widely targeted.
