More information:

Hossein Lotfi and Jakub Jirasek from Secunia Research have discovered multiple vulnerabilities in LibRaw, a library for reading RAW images. An attacker could cause a memory corruption leading to a DoS (Denial of Service) with craft KDC or TIFF file.

For the oldstable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 0.16.0-9+deb8u3.

For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 0.17.2-6+deb9u1.
