The TIFF decoder does not place a limit on the size of compressed tile data. A maliciously-crafted image can exploit this to cause a small image (both in terms of pixel width/height, and encoded size) to make the decoder decode large amounts of compressed data, consuming excessive memory and CPU.

golang.org/x/image/tiff: TIFF decoder does not place a limit on the size of compressed tile data
The TIFF decoder does not place a limit on the size of compressed tile data. A maliciously-crafted image can exploit this to cause a small image (both in terms of pixel width/height, and encoded size) to make the decoder decode large amounts of compressed data, consuming excessive memory and CPU.
A flaw was found in the Golang tiff package, where it is vulnerable to a denial of service caused by not limiting the size of compressed tile data. By persuading a victim to open a specially crafted image file, a remote attacker can cause excessive memory and CPU consumption in decoding, resulting in a denial of service condition.
