Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libtiff versions prior to 4.0.6

Description The issue is related to the improper handling of data by the TIFFFax3fillruns function in the libtiff library. This can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a divide-by-zero error and application crash, via a crafted Tiff image.

Recommendations For versions prior to 4.0.6, update to version 4.0.6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the TIFFFax3fillruns function until a patch is available.
