CVE-2023-3164 LibTIFF vulnerability
Title: LibTIFF vulnerability
Summary: LibTIFF could be made to crash if it opened a specially crafted
file.
It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled memory when
performing certain cropping operations, leading to a heap buffer
overflow. An attacker could use this issue to cause a
denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.
