Several problems have been discovered in the TIFF library. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following issues:

• CVE-2006-2193
  SuSE discovered a buffer overflow in the conversion of TIFF files
  into PDF documents which could be exploited when tiff2pdf is used
  e.g. in a printer filter.
• CVE-2006-2656
  The tiffsplit command from the TIFF library contains a buffer
  overflow in the commandline handling which could be exploited when
  the program is executed automatically on unknown filenames.

For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 3.5.5-7woody2.

For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 3.7.2-5.
