NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream evince package and not the evince package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

The tiff_document_render() and tiff_document_get_thumbnail() functions in the TIFF document backend in GNOME Evince through 3.32.0 did not handle errors from TIFFReadRGBAImageOriented(), leading to uninitialized memory use when processing certain TIFF image files.
