Two issues have been found in tiff, a Tag Image File Format (TIFF) library with tools. Using crafted TIFF files an attacker would be able to cause a segmentation fault or a memory leak, which may result in an application crash and denial of service.



For Debian 8 jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 4.0.3-12.3+deb8u17.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 4.0.8-2+deb9u12.

We recommend that you upgrade your tiff packages.
