This document describes the changes made to the software between the
<I>previous</I> and <I>current</I> versions (see above).  If you don't
find something listed here, then it was not done in this timeframe, or
it was not considered important enough to be mentioned.  The following

<!--------------------------------------------------------------------------->

<A NAME="configure"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION:</B></A>

<UL>

  <li> Updated to use Automake 1.12.4.  Avoids security problem with
  'make distcheck' (CVE-2012-3386).

</UL>

<P><HR WIDTH=65% ALIGN=left>

<!--------------------------------------------------------------------------->

<A NAME="libtiff"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN LIBTIFF:</B></A>

<UL>

  <li> tif_getimage.c: Fix size overflow (zdi-can-1221,CVE-2012-1173).

  <li> libtiff/tif_dir.c: Avoid generic handling of
	TIFFTAG_WHITELEVEL.
	(<A HREF="http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2321"
	>http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2321</A>).

  <li> libtiff/tif_dirread.c: Avoid trusting samplesperpixel's default
	of 1 for purposes of trimming tags.  This is to get some super
	crappy OJPEG files to work
	again. (<A HREF="http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2348"
	>http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2348</A>).

  <li> libtiff/tif_strip.c, libtiff/tif_tile.c: Back-patch the 4.0
	behavior of treating signed overflow as an error in
	TIFFVStripSize and TIFFVTileSize.  This is needed since the
	result is declared as tsize_t which is signed, and callers are
	likely to do the wrong thing entirely when the returned value
	is negative (CVE-2012-2088).

</UL>

<!-------------------------------------------------------------------------->
	
<A NAME="tools"><B><FONT SIZE=+3>C</FONT>HANGES IN THE TOOLS:</B></A>

<UL>

  <li> tiff2pdf: Defend against integer overflows while calculating
	required buffer sizes (CVE-2012-2113).

  <li> tiff2pdf: Fail when TIFFSetDirectory() fails.  This prevents
	core dumps or perhaps even arbitrary code execution when
	processing a corrupt input file (CVE-2012-3401).

  <li> tiff2pdf: Fix two places where t2p_error didn't get set after a
	malloc failure.  No crash risk AFAICS, but the program might
	not report exit code 1 as desired.

</UL>
