I read this 3rd party security advisory about libtiff:

http://blog.talosintel.com/2016/10/LibTIFF-Code-Execution.html

This patch fixes CVE-2016-5652, which is a buffer overflow with
potential for remote code execution.

You can easily view the commit in this unofficial Git mirror of the
libtiff CVS repo:
https://github.com/vadz/libtiff/commit/b5d6803f0898e931cf772d3d0755704ab8488e63

Unfortunately, that's the closest thing to an "official" upstream
reference to the bug that is viewable in a web browser that I can find.

I had to also take the previous change to the affected file, since the
bug fix commit depended on those changes.

This patched libtiff does _seem_ to work properly; I viewed a TIFF file
with it.

One of the bugs in that Talos advisory, CVE-2016-8331, is apparently
still not fixed upstream. And CVE-2016-5875 appears to me to be fixed by
our patch for CVE-2016-5314 [0].

But now you master CVS anyway, don’t you?  ;-)

Hmm.

I’d say go for it.

0 days since the last image library vulnerability…

Thank you!

Pushed to master and merged into core-updates. I kept it grafted on
core-updates, since changing libtiff requires ~1500 rebuilds. Oh well.
It's a good candidate for a post-release "staging" branch.

I don't think we'll need 64 bits for this counter...
