How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:7 libtiff-devel to version 0:4.0.3-32.el7 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2019:2053.

NVD Description

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

The TIFFWriteDirectorySec() function in tif_dirwrite.c in LibTIFF through 4.0.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application crash) via a crafted file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-13726.
