27
FAUCET Score

CVE-2016-3945 describes multiple integer overflows in the tiff2rgba tool within LibTIFF versions 4.0.6 and earlier, specifically impacting the cvt_by_strip and cvt_by_tile functions when -b mode is enabled. This vulnerability, affecting products like libtiff and Oracle VM Server, carries a CVSS v3 score of 7.8 (HIGH), indicating a local attack vector with low complexity, requiring user interaction, and potentially leading to a denial of service (crash) or arbitrary code execution due to an out-of-bounds write. Despite its high severity, there is no evidence of active exploitation, no known public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and minimal community discussion or media coverage.
