CVE-2019-12211: Canonical Ubuntu Linux

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 4.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

When FreeImage 3.18.0 reads a tiff file, it will be handed to the Load function of the PluginTIFF.cpp file, but a memcpy occurs in which the destination address and the size of the copied data are not considered, resulting in a heap overflow.

• Freeimage Project Freeimage: version 3.18.0 only
