Hi Ellen,

A side note:  (I'm pretty sure I've shared this in the past, but I can't
remember where)

I use libtiff from head for Google.  That way...

- can report any troubles right away back to the maintainers and reports
and patches are easier
- usually ahead of the CVE game.  CVEs have not been helpful to me
- There are enough tests in our system that each update does a pretty good
job of exercising libtiff.  While MatLab isn't the size of google3, it's
probably big enough to have good confidence in deploying tiff from head.
- I have a pretty large fuzzer generated corpus that gets checked daily in
asan and msan mode.  It's not hard to make your own corpus e.g.
gtiff_fuzzer.cc
<https://github.com/schwehr/gdal-autotest2/blob/master/cpp/frmts/gtiff/gtiff_fuzzer.cc>
which
is apache 2.0 licensed and the fuzzers in the gdal code base.
- never have to ask for a point releases

As always, thanks to everyone who contributes to libtiff!

-kurt
