Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

TCPDF versions before 6.8.0 (tecnickcom/tcpdf) use a loose comparison and a non-constant-time function when checking TCPDF tag hashes in unserializeTCPDFtag. The source gives few details on how an attacker would exploit this or what impact results. Upgrade tecnickcom/tcpdf to 6.8.0 or later.
