Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions LibTIFF version 4.0.9

Description The issue is related to a heap-based buffer overflow in the TIFFSetupStrips function of the LibTIFF library. This can be exploited by a remote attacker using a specially crafted TIFF file, potentially leading to a denial of service or other unspecified impacts.

Recommendations For LibTIFF version 4.0.9, consider avoiding the use of the TIFFSetupStrips function until a patch is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the processing of TIFF files from untrusted sources to minimize the risk of exploitation.
