The bundled libtiff in iv is very old. We, neuro-sig, looked into the code and concluded that the CVEs filed against iv regarding libtiff are either not applicable or, if they are, do not pose a high risk due to the nature of the iv package and its intended audience. IV, the InterViews graphical library, is consumed only by NEURON, a neuroscience application for modelling neurons and networks thereof. Therefore, we decided in our meeting on 4 December 2023 [1] not to pursue this further.
