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.
Heap-based buffer overflow in the loadImage function in the tiffcrop tool in LibTIFF 4.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted TIFF image with zero tiles.
