How to fix?

Upgrade libtiff to version 3.8.1 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). The TIFFToRGB function in libtiff before 3.8.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted TIFF image with Yr/Yg/Yb values that exceed the YCR/YCG/YCB values, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.
