More information:

tiff3 is affected by multiple issues that can result at least in denial of services of applications using libtiff4. Crafted TIFF files can be provided to trigger: abort() calls via failing assertions, buffer overruns (both in read and write mode).

  • CVE-2015-8781

    tif_luv.c in libtiff allows attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via an invalid number of samples per pixel in a LogL compressed TIFF image.

  • CVE-2015-8782

    tif_luv.c in libtiff allows attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds writes) via a crafted TIFF image.

  • CVE-2015-8783

    tif_luv.c in libtiff allows attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds reads) via a crafted TIFF image.

  • CVE-2015-8784

    The NeXTDecode function in tif_next.c in LibTIFF allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a crafted TIFF image.

  • CVE-2016-9533

    tif_pixarlog.c in libtiff 4.0.6 has out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities in heap allocated buffers.

  • CVE-2016-9534

    tif_write.c in libtiff 4.0.6 has an issue in the error code path of TIFFFlushData1() that didn't reset the tif_rawcc and tif_rawcp members.

  • CVE-2016-9535

    tif_predict.h and tif_predict.c in libtiff 4.0.6 have assertions that can lead to assertion failures in debug mode, or buffer overflows in release mode, when dealing with unusual tile size like YCbCr with subsampling.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 3.9.6-11+deb7u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your tiff3 packages.
