---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : tiff
Vulnerability : insufficient input validation
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CAN-2004-1308

"infamous41md" discovered a problem in libtiff, the Tag Image File Format library for processing TIFF graphics files. Upon reading a TIFF file it is possible to allocate a zero sized buffer and write to it which would lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 3.5.5-6woody2.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 3.6.1-4.

We recommend that you upgrade your libtiff packages immediately.
