Yeah, the tiff bug was one of the the first few iOS jailbreaks. The wiki says 1.0-1.1.1: https://www.theiphonewiki.com/wiki/LibTiff_Exploit

I wrote a patch to fix it that one of the jailbreaks used. I wasn't in the scene, but wanted to protect my ipod touch. So I figured out a patch and gave it to somebody named "pumpkin" on IRC. It's been a long time, but I remember it was fun to learn ARM assembly and figure out how to rewrite the code to get enough space to insert a test and return.
