How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.0 libtiff5 to version 4.0.9-5.14.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libtiff5 package and not the libtiff5 package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 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.
