CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade libtiff to version 3.8.2 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. The EstimateStripByteCounts function in TIFF library (libtiff) before 3.8.2 uses a 16-bit unsigned short when iterating over an unsigned 32-bit value, which allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service via a large td_nstrips value, which triggers an infinite loop.
