More information:

William Robinet and Michal Zalewski discovered multiple vulnerabilities in the TIFF library and its tools, which may result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed TIFF file is processed.

For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 4.0.2-6+deb7u4.

For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed before the initial release.

We recommend that you upgrade your tiff packages.
