Version 4.0.2-6+deb7u7 introduced changes that resulted in libtiff being unable to write out tiff files when the compression scheme in use relies on codec-specific TIFF tags embedded in the image.

This problem manifested itself with errors like those: $ tiffcp -r 16
-c jpeg sample.tif out.tif _TIFFVGetField: out.tif: Invalid tag 'Predictor' (not supported by codec). _TIFFVGetField: out.tif: Invalid tag 'BadFaxLines' (not supported by codec). tiffcp:
tif_dirwrite.c:687: TIFFWriteDirectorySec: Assertion `0' failed.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 4.0.2-6+deb7u10.

We recommend that you upgrade your tiff packages.

Note that only 4th generation models are affected by these vulnerabilities.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The DumpModeEncode function in tif_dumpmode.c in the bmp2tiff tool in LibTIFF 4.0.6 and earlier, when the
    -c none option is used, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) via a     crafted BMP image. (CVE-2016-3619)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201701-16 (libTIFF: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in libTIFF. Please review       the CVE identifier and bug reports referenced for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to process a specially crafted       image file, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The version of Apple iOS running on the mobile device is prior to 10.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities in multiple components, the majority of which are remote code execution vulnerabilities.
