There are basically two categories of CVEs for libtiff. If you want to
see a list of recent issues, you can quite simply go look at the
changelog for the most recent release:
http://www.remotesensing.org/libtiff/v4.0.6.html .

There have been security issues every few weeks now. For instance,
CVE-2015-8665, CVE-2015-8784 and a few issues pending CVEs, about which
a maintainer (Bob Friesenhahn) is saying the following:

> To my knowledge, none of the issues recently posted on this list have
> been addressed yet in libtiff.
> 
> It is always our priority to fix issues occuring in libtiff itself
> before addressing issues in the libtiff utilities.  Some of the
> libtiff maintainers care about only a few of the utilities.  We are
> all volunteers and available time is limited.
> 
> It is my intention to spend time addressing the libtiff utility issues
> (some of which might be due to issues in core libtiff) once I have
> addressed the remaining CVEs in GraphicsMagick.  Issues appearing to
> be due to problems in libtiff itself will get attention first.

So, yeah, many issues and updates are a bit laggy.
