    Summary: tiff vulnerabilities

    Details: It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain malformed images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, a remote attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. This issue was only fixed in Ubuntu 14.04 ESM. (CVE-2019-14973, CVE-2019-17546, CVE-2020-35523, CVE-2020-35524, CVE-2022-3970) It was discovered that LibTIFF was incorrectly acessing a data structure when processing data with the tiffcrop tool, which could lead to a heap buffer overflow.
