How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 tiff to version 4.0.3-12.3+deb8u3 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:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The TIFFWriteDirectoryTagLongLong8Array function in tif_dirwrite.c in the tiffset tool in LibTIFF 4.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via vectors involving the ma variable.
