Description:
    Previous releases libtiff contain several buffer overflow
    vulnerabilities, which could allow an attacker to crash an 
    application or execute arbitrary code via a specially
    crafted tiff image file.  See the linked CVEs for more
    information about the specific cases which have been fixed.
