CVE-2017-9404
In LibTIFF 4.0.7, a memory leak vulnerability was found in the function OJPEGReadHeaderInfoSecTablesQTable in tif_ojpeg.c, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.47%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
