MGASA-2012-0181
Date: 	July 24th, 2012
Affected releases: 	1, 2


Description:
Updated libtiff packages fix security vulnerability:

Huzaifa Sidhpurwala discovered that the tiff2pdf utility incorrectly
handled certain malformed TIFF images. If a user or automated system
were tricked into opening a specially crafted TIFF image, a remote
attacker could crash the application, leading to a denial of service,
or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges
(CVE-2012-3401).
