medium Nessus Plugin ID 88387

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Two security flaws have been found and solved in libtiff, library that provides support for handling Tag Image File Format (TIFF). These flaws concern out of bounds reads in the TIFFRGBAImage interface, when parsing unsupported values related to LogLUV and CIELab. CVE-2015-8665 was reported by limingxing and CVE-2015-8683 by zzf of Alibaba.

For Debian 6 'Squeeze', these issues have been fixed in tiff version 3.9.4-5+squeeze13. We recommend you to upgrade your tiff packages.
