To All,

I recently had a problem with my tiff reader and found the problem was
related to an update of libtiff.  

Even Rouault on tifflib list was kind enough to provide the answer :

Hum, I see this is a CCITTFAX4 image. You got caught by a security fix
for CVE-2011-0192 that was found to be incorrect in its initial attempt.
It has been later fixed in upstream libtiff in 
http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2297 . It is very likely
that the correction will also go to Fedora in few days (the Ubuntu
libtiff also had the same issue and it has been updated today). This has
already been reported in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678635


How can I find out when this new libtiff update will be added to Fedora
14.

Thanks much  !!!

Greg Ennis
