How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable tiff to version 4.0.9-2 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:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

The function t2p_write_pdf in tiff2pdf.c in LibTIFF 4.0.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted TIFF file, a similar issue to CVE-2017-9935.
