CVE-2016-9453
The t2p_readwrite_pdf_image_tile function in LibTIFF allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a JPEG file with a TIFFTAG_JPEGTABLES of length one.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (2.64%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
