Synopsis:	Important: libtiff security update
Issue date:	2011-03-02
CVE Names:	CVE-2011-0192

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libtiff processed
certain TIFF Internet Fax image files, compressed with the CCITT Group 4
compression algorithm. An attacker could use this flaw to create a
specially-crafted TIFF file that, when opened, would cause an 
application linked against libtiff to crash or, possibly, execute 
arbitrary code. (CVE-2011-0192)

All running applications linked against libtiff must be restarted for 
this update to take effect.
