  A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libtiff processed
  certain TIFF Internet Fax image files, compressed with the CCITT Group 4
  compression algorithm. An attacker could use this flaw to create a
  specially-crafted TIFF file that, when opened, would cause an application
  linked against libtiff to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
  (CVE-2011-0192)

  Red Hat would like to thank Apple Product Security for reporting this
  issue.

  All libtiff users should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
  backported patch to resolve this issue. All running applications linked
  against libtiff must be restarted for this update to take effect.");
