How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 libtiff-tools.

NVD Description

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

LibTIFF 4.4.0 has an out-of-bounds read in extractImageSection in tools/tiffcrop.c:6905, allowing attackers to cause a denial-of-service via a crafted tiff file. For users that compile libtiff from sources, the fix is available with commit 48d6ece8.
