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:15.4 relevant fixed versions and status.

A null pointer dereference issue was found in Libtiff's tif_dir.c file. This issue may allow an attacker to pass a crafted TIFF image file to the tiffcp utility which triggers a runtime error that causes undefined behavior. This will result in an application crash, eventually leading to a denial of service.
