How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 gdk-pixbuf2-tests.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream gdk-pixbuf2-tests package and not the gdk-pixbuf2-tests package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The make_available_at_least function in io-tiff.c in gdk-pixbuf allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a large TIFF file.
