DLA-983-1 tiff3 -- LTS security update

Date Reported:

13 Jun 2017

Affected Packages:

tiff3

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2016-10095, CVE-2017-9147, CVE-2017-9403, CVE-2017-9404.

More information:

tiff3 was affected by multiple memory leaks (CVE-2017-9403, CVE-2017-9404) that could result in denial of service. Furthermore, while the current version in Debian was already patched for _TIFFVGetField issues (CVE-2016-10095, CVE-2017-9147), we replaced our Debian-specific patches by the upstream provided patches to stay closer to upstream.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 3.9.6-11+deb7u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your tiff3 packages.
