  A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way libtiff processed
  certain TIFF files encoded with a 4-bit run-length encoding scheme from
  ThunderScan. 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-2011-1167)

  This update also fixes the following bug:

  * The RHSA-2011:0318 libtiff update introduced a regression that prevented
  certain TIFF Internet Fax image files, compressed with the CCITT Group 4
  compression algorithm, from being read. (BZ#688825)

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