Comment 1 Sam Fowler 2018-01-04 06:56:16 UTC 
Created libtiff tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1530913]
Comment 2 Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2018-01-22 03:52:35 UTC 
Analysis:

I am not able to reproduce this on any version of libtiff shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux or with the upstream version compiled with ASAN. Currently there is no response from upstream nor any response from the reporter of this flaw.

I am going to mark this issue as notaffected, until there is more information available.
