How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:14.04 tiff to version 4.0.3-7ubuntu0.4 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:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

tif_luv.c in libtiff allows attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via an invalid number of samples per pixel in a LogL compressed TIFF image, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-8782.
