In LibTIFF 4.0.8, there is a heap-based buffer overflow in the
t2p_write_pdf function in tools/tiff2pdf.c. This heap overflow could lead
to different damages. For example, a crafted TIFF document can lead to an
out-of-bounds read in TIFFCleanup, an invalid free in TIFFClose or
t2p_free, memory corruption in t2p_readwrite_pdf_image, or a double free in
t2p_free. Given these possibilities, it probably could cause arbitrary code
execution.

Notes

Author	Note
ratliff	reproducer errors out rather than crashing on trusty & zesty
sbeattie	possibly only affects tiff tools, not libtiff itself
mdeslaur	patch in upstream bug we will not be fixing this issue in precise/esm
