Integer overflow in the TIFF image decoding routines in CUPS 1.3.9 and
earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash)
and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF image, which is not
properly handled by the (1) _cupsImageReadTIFF function in the imagetops
filter and (2) imagetoraster filter, leading to a heap-based buffer
overflow.

jdstrand	without a reproducer, AFAICS cups with libtiff should be vulnerable as libtiff doesn’t error out on images with a height (ImageLength) larger than 0x3fffffff (2^30-1)
