CVE-2015-8784  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-787  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Alpine:3.4 tiff to version 4.0.6-r3 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tiff package and not the tiff package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.4 relevant fixed versions and status.

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, as demonstrated by libtiff5.tif.
