LibTIFF OJPEG Heap Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

LibTIFF is affected by a heap buffer overflow vulnerability. This issue is due to a failure of the application to properly perform boundary checks prior to copying user-supplied strings into finite process buffers.

An attacker may leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code on a vulnerable computer with the privileges of the user running the vulnerable application, facilitating unauthorized access. This issue may also be leveraged to cause an affected application to crash.
