libtiff4 isn't even in woody. I didn't check whether this flaw affects
woody's TIFF library, though.

Oh, I faintly remember having read something about a new version, but
I didn't check.

In this case you should apply the patch to unstable and upload with
high urgency so that the version can be pushed into Sarge, I suppose.

Yeah, since yesterday.

Yes, of course. :-) It currently doesn't build because of a library of
our new X.org, but that's an entirely different problem. I already
ported the patch itself.
