Debian Lenny DSA-2084-1 Critical: TIFF Integer Overflow Remote Exploit

Kevin Finisterre discovered that several integer overflows in the TIFF
library could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.8.2-11.3.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 3.9.4-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your tiff packages.
