Two security issues were found in TIFF, a widely used format for storing image data, as follows:

CVE-2020-19131

Buffer Overflow in LibTiff allows attackers to cause
a denial of service via the "invertImage()" function
in the component "tiffcrop".

CVE-2020-19144

Buffer Overflow in LibTiff allows attackers to cause
a denial of service via the 'in _TIFFmemcpy' funtion
in the component 'tif_unix.c'.


For Debian 8 jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 4.0.3-12.3+deb8u12.

We recommend that you upgrade your tiff packages.
