Dear all

 

I have been trying to fix the constant CVE issues at tiffcrop for several
years. 

Today I can say "fixing is not possible". 

The endless combinable parameters and the grown implementation of the
working buffer allocation for input, intermediate results and output make
maintenance nearly impossible.

 

Also the code often (partially) does something different than I would expect
based on the parameter description. This is then often visible in the
resulting image, which looks different than what the very brief parameter
description would suggest.

 

With this in mind, I would recommend removing tiffcrop from the LibTiff
library to avoid endless CVE and buffer overrun issues that are not really
part of LibTiff.

 

Regards

Su
