Vendor
Canonical Ubuntu
Versions Affected
- Canonical Ubuntu 14.04
Description
USN-3212-1 fixed vulnerabilities in LibTIFF. Unfortunately, some of the security patches were misapplied, which caused a regression when processing certain images. This update fixes the problem.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Original advisory details:
