Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2777 advisory.

Two security issues were found in TIFF, a widely used format for storing image data, as follows:
CVE-2020-19131 Buffer Overflow in LibTiff allows attackers to cause a denial of service via the invertImage() function in the component tiffcrop. CVE-2020-19144 Buffer Overflow in LibTiff allows attackers to cause a denial of service via the in _TIFFmemcpy funtion in the component tif_unix.c. For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 4.0.8-2+deb9u7. We recommend that you upgrade your tiff packages. For the detailed security status of tiff please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/tiff Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at:

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade the tiff packages.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 4.0.8-2+deb9u7.
