- CVE-2017-5225: Prevent heap buffer overflow in the tools/tiffcp that could
 have caused DoS or code execution via a crafted BitsPerSample value
 (bsc#1019611)
- CVE-2018-7456: Prevent a NULL Pointer dereference in the function
 TIFFPrintDirectory when using the tiffinfo tool to print crafted TIFF
 information, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-18013 (bsc#1082825)
- CVE-2017-11613: Prevent denial of service in the TIFFOpen function. During
 the TIFFOpen process, td_imagelength is not checked. The value of
 td_imagelength can be directly controlled by an input file. In the
 ChopUpSingleUncompressedStrip function, the _TIFFCheckMalloc function is called
 based on td_imagelength. If the value of td_imagelength is set close to the
 amount of system memory, it will hang the system or trigger the OOM killer
 (bsc#1082332)
- CVE-2016-10266: Prevent remote attackers to cause a denial of service
 (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via a crafted TIFF image, related
 to libtiff/tif_read.c:351:22 (bsc#1031263)
- CVE-2018-8905: Prevent heap-based buffer overflow in the function
 LZWDecodeCompat via a crafted TIFF file (bsc#1086408)
- CVE-2016-9540: Prevent out-of-bounds write on tiled images with odd tile
 width versus image width (bsc#1011839).
- CVE-2016-9535: tif_predict.h and tif_predict.c had assertions that could have
 lead to assertion failures in debug mode, or buffer overflows in release mode,
 when dealing with unusual tile size like YCbCr with subsampling (bsc#1011846).
- CVE-2016-9535: tif_predict.h and tif_predict.c had assertions that could have
 lead to assertion failures in debug mode, or buffer overflows in release mode,
 when dealing with unusual tile size like YCbCr with subsampling (bsc#1011846).
- Removed assert in readSeparateTilesIntoBuffer() function (bsc#1017689).
- CVE-2016-10095: Prevent stack-based buffer overflow in the _TIFFVGetField
 function that allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via
 a crafted TIFF file (bsc#1017690).
- CVE-2016-8331: Prevent remote code execution because of incorrect handling of
 TIFF images. A crafted TIFF document could have lead to a type confusion
 vulnerability resulting in remote code execution. This vulnerability could have
 been be triggered via a TIFF file delivered to the application using LibTIFF's
 tag extension functionality (bsc#1007276).
- CVE-2016-3632: The _TIFFVGetField function allowed remote attackers to cause
 a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) or execute arbitrary code via a
 crafted TIFF image (bsc#974621).");
