Synopsis:	Important: libtiff security update
Issue date:	2011-04-18
CVE Names:	CVE-2009-5022

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libtiff processed
certain TIFF image files that were compressed with the JPEG 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-2009-5022)

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

SL 6.x
