Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.42%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

Heap-based buffer overflow in the JPEG decoder in the TIFF library (libtiff) before 3.8.2 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via an encoded JPEG stream that is longer than the scan line size (TiffScanLineSize).
