**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
ImageMagick version 7.0.8-43 Q16
**Description**
The issue allows attackers to cause a denial-of-service, resulting in an application crash due to a heap-based buffer over-read, via a crafted TIFF image file. This is related to functions in LibTIFF, specifically `TIFFRewriteDirectory`, `TIFFWriteDirectory`, `TIFFWriteDirectorySec`, and `TIFFWriteDirectoryTagColormap` in tif dirwrite.c. The problem occurs because of an incomplete fix for a previous issue.
**Recommendations**
For ImageMagick version 7.0.8-43 Q16, as a temporary workaround, consider disabling the `WriteTIFFImage` function in coders/tiff.c until a patch is available. Restrict access to crafted TIFF image files to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
