Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: LibTIFF versions 3.9.3 through 4.0.9

Description: The issue is related to a heap-based buffer overflow in the cpSeparateBufToContigBuf function, which can be exploited by remote attackers using a crafted TIFF file. This can lead to a denial of service (crash) or potentially have other unspecified impacts. The vulnerability is also associated with a buffer overflow operation that allows a remote attacker to access confidential data, compromise its integrity, and cause a denial of service.

Recommendations: For LibTIFF versions 3.9.3 through 4.0.9, consider disabling the cpSeparateBufToContigBuf function until a patch is available to prevent potential exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
