The remote host is missing an update to libtiff4
announced via advisory USN-1416-1.
Details:
Alexander Gavrun discovered that the TIFF library incorrectly allocated

specially crafted TIFF image, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary
code with user privileges, or crash the application, leading to a denial of
service. (CVE-2012-1173)

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS, Ubuntu 10.10 and Ubuntu 11.04.
