What is CVE-2009-0163?

An integer overflow vulnerability exists in the TIFF image decoding routines of CUPS versions 1.3.9 and earlier. This flaw can be exploited by remote attackers to trigger a denial of service through a crafted TIFF image. The flawed handling of the image within the _cupsImageReadTIFF function in the imagetops filter and the imagetoraster filter may lead to a heap-based buffer overflow, potentially allowing attackers to execute arbitrary code, impacting system integrity and availability.
