Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in LibTIFF, the worst of which
could result in a Denial of Service condition.

Background
==========

The TIFF library contains encoding and decoding routines for the Tag
Image File Format. It is called by numerous programs, including GNOME
and KDE applications, to interpret TIFF images.
