CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade libtiff to version 3.9.4 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. The TIFFExtractData macro in LibTIFF before 3.9.4 does not properly handle unknown tag types in TIFF directory entries, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted TIFF file.
