Root Cause Analysis
The primary source of information is the vulnerability description and the Gitee issue content, both of which pinpoint the extractImageSection function in tools/tiffcrop.c as the location of the out-of-bounds read. The GitLab issue and merge request links did not yield specific commit details. The Gitee issue also indicates that the libtiff project will not be patching this vulnerability in the tiffcrop tool due to maintainability concerns. Therefore, the analysis relies on the textual description of the vulnerability rather than a code patch.
