How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.0 libtiff-devel to version 4.0.9-5.9.1 or higher.

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 SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.0 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.
