Debian DLA-692-1 : tiff3 security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 94473

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Applications using libtiff can trigger buffer overflows through TIFFGetField() when processing TIFF images with unknown tags.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 3.9.6-11+deb7u2.

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.
