  <description>
    <p>
    Tavis Ormandy of the Google Security Team discovered several heap and
    stack buffer overflows and other flaws in libTIFF. The affected parts
    include the TIFFFetchShortPair(), TIFFScanLineSize() and
    EstimateStripByteCounts() functions, and the PixarLog and NeXT RLE
    decoders.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to open 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-r2&quot;</code>
  </resolution>
