"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2016-585:01 advisory.

    The libtiff package contains a library of functions for manipulating
    TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) image format files.  TIFF is a widely
    used file format for bitmapped images.  TIFF files usually end in the
    .tif extension and they are often quite large.
    The libtiff package should be installed if you need to manipulate TIFF
    format image files.

    provided.
    CVE-2014-9330
    Integer overflow in tif_packbits.c in bmp2tif in libtiff 4.0.3 allows
    remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted BMP
    image, related to dimensions, which triggers an out-of-bounds read.
    CVE-2014-9655
    The (1) putcontig8bitYCbCr21tile function in tif_getimage.c or (2)
    NeXTDecode function in tif_next.c in LibTIFF allows remote attackers
    to cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory access) via a
    crafted TIFF image, as demonstrated by libtiff-cvs-1.tif and
    libtiff-cvs-2.tif.
    CVE-2015-1547
    The NeXTDecode function in tif_next.c in LibTIFF allows remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (uninitialized memory access)
    via a crafted TIFF image, as demonstrated by libtiff5.tif.
    CVE-2015-7554
    The _TIFFVGetField function in tif_dir.c in libtiff 4.0.6 allows
    attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory write and
    crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted field
    data in an extension tag in a TIFF image.
    CVE-2015-8665
    tif_getimage.c in LibTIFF 4.0.6 allows remote attackers to cause a
    denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via the SamplesPerPixel tag in
    a TIFF image.
    CVE-2015-8668
    Heap-based buffer overflow in the PackBitsPreEncode function in
    tif_packbits.c in bmp2tiff in libtiff 4.0.6 and earlier allows remote
    attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service via a
    large width field in a BMP image.
    CVE-2015-8683
    The putcontig8bitCIELab function in tif_getimage.c in LibTIFF 4.0.6
    allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds
    read) via a packed TIFF image.
    CVE-2015-8781
    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.
    CVE-2015-8782
    tif_luv.c in libtiff allows attackers to cause a denial of service
    (out-of-bounds writes) via a crafted TIFF image, a different
    vulnerability than CVE-2015-8781.
    CVE-2015-8783
    tif_luv.c in libtiff allows attackers to cause a denial of service
    (out-of-bounds reads) via a crafted TIFF image.
    CVE-2015-8784
    The NeXTDecode function in tif_next.c in LibTIFF allows remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a
    crafted TIFF image, as demonstrated by libtiff5.tif.
