    It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain memory operations when using tiffmedian tool.
    An attacker could trick a user into processing a specially crafted tiff image file and potentially use
    this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2025-8176)

    It was discovered that LibTIFF did not properly perform bounds checking in certain operations when using
    thumbnail tool. An attacker could trick a user into processing a specially crafted tiff image file and
    potentially use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and
    Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2025-8177)

    It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain memory

    operations when using tiff2ps tool. An attacker could trick a user into processing a specially crafted
    tiff image file and potentially use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2025-8534)

    in certain operations when using tiffcrop tool. An attacker could trick

    a user into processing a specially crafted tiff image file and

    potentially use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2025-8851)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.
