FFmpeg versions from 0.5 up to, but not including, 9.0 contain an uninitialized heap memory disclosure vulnerability in the native TIFF decoder in libavcodec/tiff.c. An attacker who can cause FFmpeg to decode a crafted TIFF file can supply a valid Deflate-compressed strip that terminates successfully after producing fewer bytes than the declared strip requires. The tiff_unpack_zlib() function allocates a heap buffer sized for the full declared strip but copies all declared rows via memcpy() regardless of how many bytes zlib actually decompressed, causing unwritten bytes that can contain stale
