  - There is a heap based buffer overflow in tools/tiff2pdf.c of LibTIFF 4.0.8 via a PlanarConfig=Contig
    image, which causes a more than one hundred bytes out-of-bounds write (related to the ZIPDecode function
    in tif_zip.c). A crafted input may lead to a remote denial of service attack or an arbitrary code
    execution attack. (CVE-2017-11335)
