Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libtiff version 4.0.6

Description The issue is related to assertions in tif predict.h and tif predict.c that can lead to assertion failures in debug mode or buffer overflows in release mode when handling unusual tile sizes, such as YCbCr with subsampling.
