Debian DLA-912-1 : tiff3 security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 99637

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Multiple security issues have been found in the tiff3 image library that may allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash), to obtain sensitive information from process memory or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted image.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 3.9.6-11+deb7u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your tiff3 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
