  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by enticing a user
    to open a specially crafted TIFF image, possibly leading to the
    execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/tiff-3.8.1&quot;</code>
