CVE-2022-3570
Description
A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in Libtiff's tiffcrop utility. This issue occurs during the conversion of a TIFF image file, allowing an attacker to pass a crafted TIFF image file to tiffcrop utility, which causes an out-of-bound access resulting an application crash, eventually leading to a denial of service.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).

Red Hat CVSS v3 Score Explanation
C:N, I:N because as per attack scenario, the victim user running tiffcrop utility with a malicious file (e.g. coming from an attacker). As such a crash or an out-of-bound read does not pose any real security risk, unless it can be proven that the triggered oob-read can be used to send valuable information to a remote/local attacker. So, most likely it will cause DoS. Hence only harm to availability i.e. A:H
