  <description>
    <p>
    A buffer overflow has been found in the t2p_write_pdf_string function
    in tiff2pdf, which can been triggered with a TIFF file containing a
    DocumentName tag with UTF-8 characters. An additional buffer overflow
    has been found in the handling of the parameters in tiffsplit.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to load a specially crafted TIFF
    file, resulting in the possible execution of arbitrary code.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All libTIFF users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/tiff-3.8.2-r1&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
