Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions LibTIFF versions prior to the fixed version

Description A heap-buffer-overflow vulnerability was found in LibTIFF, specifically in the extractImageSection() function at tools/tiffcrop.c:7916 and tools/tiffcrop.c:7801. This flaw allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted tiff file.
