There is still a security issue not fixed in this release which concerns
TIFF images. A CVE has been announced a while ago:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-3296
I tried to contact the authors (one month ago) but received no answer
yet. That's why I'm sending this message on the list: to let users and
packagers know about the bug.
The vulenarable file is “src/tiffread.c”. The patch is available at:
http://tinyurl.com/cve-tiff-1
and the source code of “oversized.h” is available at:
http://tinyurl.com/cve-tiff-2
These changes are applied in the Debian packages and were backported to
the stable and oldstable releases.
Best regards,
