This issue was patched in ALAS2-2020-1532.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libtiff-static package and not the libtiff-static package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2 relevant fixed versions and status.

_TIFFCheckMalloc and _TIFFCheckRealloc in tif_aux.c in LibTIFF through 4.0.10 mishandle Integer Overflow checks because they rely on compiler behavior that is undefined by the applicable C standards. This can, for example, lead to an application crash.
