How to fix?

Upgrade Ubuntu:16.04 tiff to version 4.0.6-1ubuntu0.8+esm12 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tiff package and not the tiff package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in libtiff. A specially crafted tiff file can lead to a segmentation fault due to a buffer overflow in the Fax3Encode function in libtiff/tif_fax3.c, resulting in a denial of service.
