    Package : tiff
    Vulnerability : buffer overflow
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2009-5022
    Debian Bug : 624287

    Tavis Ormandy discovered that the Tag Image File Format (TIFF) library
    is vulnerable to a buffer overflow triggered by a crafted OJPEG file
    which allows for a crash and potentially execution of arbitrary code.

    The oldstable distribution (lenny) is not affected by this problem.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 3.9.4-5+squeeze2.

    For the testing distribution (wheezy) and unstable distribution (sid),
    this problem has been fixed in version 3.9.5-1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your tiff packages.
