    A flaw was found in tiffcrop, a program distributed by the libtiff package. A specially crafted tiff file     can lead to an out-of-bounds read in the extractImageSection function in tools/tiffcrop.c, resulting in a     denial of service and limited information disclosure. This issue affects libtiff versions     4.x.(CVE-2023-1916)
