How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:13 tiff to version 4.0.6-2 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 Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

The DumpModeDecode function in libtiff 4.0.6 and earlier allows attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid read and crash) via a crafted tiff image.
