A crafted TIFF document can lead to an out of bounds write which in particular circumstances could be leveraged into remote code execution.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (3.78%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
