CVE-2018-7456
A NULL Pointer Dereference occurs in the function TIFFPrintDirectory in tif_print.c in LibTIFF 3.9.3, 3.9.4, 3.9.5, 3.9.6, 3.9.7, 4.0.0alpha4, 4.0.0alpha5, 4.0.0alpha6, 4.0.0beta7, 4.0.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, 4.0.3, 4.0.4, 4.0.4beta, 4.0.5, 4.0.6, 4.0.7, 4.0.8…
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.99%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
