l/libtiff-3.9.6-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
Patched overflows that could lead to arbitrary code execution when parsing a malformed image file.
For more information, see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-1173
(* Security fix *)
isolinux/initrd.img: Rebuilt.
Use genuine GNU bash instead of busybox ash. This fixes installer failure caused by exported variables such as TERM failing to propogate to subshells. I'm still not sure what's causing that issue (perhaps a change in glibc?), but using real bash might be better in the long run, as we won't need to avoid bashisms in the scripts. The original reason bash was avoided was to keep things small for installer floppies, and we're well past that era.
usb-and-pxe-installers/usbboot.img: Rebuilt.
