Two security issues were found in TIFF, a widely used format for
storing image data, as follows:

CVE-2020-19131

Buffer Overflow in LibTiff allows attackers to cause
a denial of service via the "invertImage()" function
in the component "tiffcrop".

CVE-2020-19144

Buffer Overflow in LibTiff allows attackers to cause
a denial of service via the 'in _TIFFmemcpy' funtion
