CVE-2012-2088 Open this link in a new tabHow to fix?
Upgrade Debian:8 tiff to version 4.0-1 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.
Integer signedness error in the TIFFReadDirectory function in tif_dirread.c in libtiff 3.9.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a negative tile depth in a tiff image, which triggers an improper conversion between signed and unsigned types, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.
