CVE-2017-18229
An allocation failure vulnerability was found in the function ReadTIFFImage in coders/tiff.c, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file, because file size is not properly used to restrict scanline, strip, and tile allocations.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.27%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
