  <description>
    <p>
    iDefense Labs reported that the TIFF parsing code uses untrusted values
    to calculate buffer sizes, which can lead to an integer overflow
    resulting in heap-based buffer overflow.

  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted
