How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:12.04 tiff to version 3.9.5-2ubuntu1.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tiff package and not the tiff package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:12.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer signedness error in the TIFFReadDirectory function in tif_dirread.c in libtiff 3.9.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a negative tile depth in a tiff image, which triggers an improper conversion between signed and unsigned types, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow.
