Package        : tiff
Vulnerability  : buffer overflow
Problem type   : local(remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CVE-2012-4447

It was discovered that a buffer overflow in libtiff's parsing of files
using PixarLog compression could lead to the execution of arbitrary
code.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.9.4-5+squeeze6.

For the testing distribution (wheezy) and the unstable distribution
sid), this problem has been fixed in version 3.9.6-9 of the tiff3

We recommend that you upgrade your tiff packages.
