    (CVE-2022-3627)

  - A vulnerability was found in LibTIFF. It has been classified as critical. This affects the function     TIFFReadRGBATileExt of the file libtiff/tif_getimage.c. The manipulation leads to integer overflow. It is     possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
    The name of the patch is 227500897dfb07fb7d27f7aa570050e62617e3be. It is recommended to apply a patch to     fix this issue. The identifier VDB-213549 was assigned to this vulnerability. (CVE-2022-3970)

The remote Debian 11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5333 advisory.

    Several buffer overflow, divide by zero or out of bounds read/write vulnerabilities were discovered in     tiff, the Tag Image File Format (TIFF) library and tools, which may cause denial of service when     processing a crafted TIFF image. For the stable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed in     version 4.2.0-1+deb11u3. 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
