MGASA-2012-0355
Date: 	December 7th, 2012
Affected releases: 	2


Description:
Updated libtiff packages fix security vulnerability:

It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain malformed
images using the DOTRANGE tag. 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-2012-5581).


Updated Packages:
lib(64)tiff5-4.0.1-2.5.mga2
lib(64)tiff-devel-4.0.1-2.5.mga2
lib(64)tiff-static-devel-4.0.1-2.5.mga2
libtiff-progs-4.0.1-2.5.mga2
