The remote host is missing an update for the 'libtiff' package(s) announced via the ALAS-2014-365 advisory. Use-after-free vulnerability in the libtiff 4.0.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via crafted images. Multiple buffer overflows in libtiff before 4.0.3 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code

The LZW decompressor in the gif2tiff tool in libtiff 4.0.3 and earlier allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted GIF image.

Heap-based buffer overflow in the readgifimage function in the gif2tiff tool in libtiff 4.0.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted height and width values in a GIF image.

Multiple buffer overflows in libtiff before 4.0.3 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a crafted (1) extension block in a GIF image or (2) GIF raster image to tools/gif2tiff.c or (3) a long filename for a TIFF image to tools/rgb2ycbcr.c.
