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 JPEGSetupEncode function in tiff_jpeg.c in LibTIFF 4.0.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via a crafted image.
