Description Sam Fowler 2018-03-15 06:20:54 UTC 
LibTIFF through version 4.0.9 is vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference in tif_print.c:TIFFPrintDirectory(). An attacker exploit this to cause a denial of service using the tiffinfo command with a crafted TIFF image.

This is a different issue to CVE-2017-18013.

Analysis: 

Essentially a null pointer deref in the way tags are handled when printing them from a specially crafted TIFF file.
