Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.25%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

Null source pointer passed as an argument to memcpy() function within TIFFReadDirectory() in tif_dirread.c in libtiff versions from 4.0 to 4.3.0 could lead to Denial of Service via crafted TIFF file. For users that compile libtiff from sources, a fix is available with commit 561599c.
