After we googling with several keyword, I got the best solutions from OJAK AJA, and here what we must do. Open your TimThumb script and find this code (around line 496 on version 1.12)

readfile( $cache_file );

Then you need replace readfile function with file_get_contents, Sigiro said, this is the best method, beside file_gets_contents, there are several PHP Functions we can use, such as fpassthru, back to this tricks, to make your TimThumb work, replace code above with this code

$img_data = file_get_contents( $cache_file );
 echo $img_data;
