NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libtiff5-32bit package and not the libtiff5-32bit package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 relevant fixed versions and status.

newoffsets handling in ChopUpSingleUncompressedStrip in tif_dirread.c in LibTIFF 4.0.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted TIFF file, as demonstrated by tiff2pdf. This is a different vulnerability than CVE-2018-15209.
