CVE-2026-106116

ImageSharp: BigTIFF IFD count can keep a decoder thread in a non-progressing loop

Published Oct 6, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 5.3 Medium EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
ImageSharp is a 2D graphics library. From 2.0.0 until 4.1.2, ExifReader.ReadValues64 trusts the 64-bit BigTIFF IFD entry count and iterates once per declared entry. When fewer than 20 bytes remain, ExifReader.ReadValue64 returns without advancing the stream or terminating the outer loop, so a small malformed BigTIFF can keep one decoder thread executing for an attacker-controlled duration. This report does not claim worker-pool exhaustion. This issue is fixed in version 4.1.2.
