The libtiff package contains a library of functions for manipulating TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) image format files. TIFF is a widely used file format for bitmapped images. TIFF files usually end in the .tif extension and they are often quite large. The libtiff package should be installed if you need to manipulate TIFF format image files. Update Information: The libtiff package contains a library of functions for manipulating TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) files. Tavis Ormandy of Google discovered a number of flaws in libtiff during a security audit. A possible hacker could create a carefully crafted TIFF file in such a way that it was possible to cause an application linked with libtiff to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2006-3459, CVE-2006-3460, CVE-2006-3461, CVE-2006-3462, CVE-2006-3463, CVE-2006-3464, CVE-2006-3465) All users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported fixes for these issues.
