Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the libtiff library and the included tools, which may result in denial of service :

CVE-2017-11613

Ddenial of service vulnerability in the TIFFOpen function. A crafted input will lead to a denial of service attack and can either make the system hand or trigger the OOM killer.

CVE-2018-5784

There is an uncontrolled resource consumption in TIFFSetDirectory function of src/libtiff/tif_dir.c, which can cause denial of service through a crafted tif file.

We recommend that you upgrade your tiff packages.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
