This CVE: "libtiff up to v4.7.1 was discovered to contain a NULL pointer
dereference via the component libtiff/tif_open.c."

Despite tools being removed in the commit you mentionned
libtiff/tif_open.c was not touched and the patch linked by NVD apply to

Are you sure we can ignore this CVE?

FYI, Peter patched it on kirkstone:
