Affected packages

Package	Arch	Vulnerable	Unaffected
media-libs/jasper	*	< 2.0.12	>= 2.0.12

Background

JasPer is a software-based implementation of the codec specified in the JPEG-2000 Part-1 standard.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in JasPer. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted image file using JasPer possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All JasPer users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/jasper-2.0.12"

Bugs

#394879

Advisory

https://security.gentoo.org/glsa/201201-10

Affected packages

Package	Arch	Vulnerable	Unaffected
media-libs/jasper	*	< 1.900.1-r4	>= 1.900.1-r4

Background

The JasPer Project is an open-source initiative to provide a free software-based reference implementation of the codec specified in the JPEG-2000 Part-1 (jpeg2k) standard.

Description

Two vulnerabilities have been found in JasPer:

• The jpc_cox_getcompparms function in libjasper/jpc/jpc_cs.c contains an error that could overwrite certain callback pointers, possibly causing a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2011-4516).
• The jpc_crg_getparms function in libjasper/jpc/jpc_cs.c uses an incorrect data type, possibly causing a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2011-4517).

Impact

A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to process specially crafted JPEG-2000 files with an application using JasPer, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the application, or a Denial of Service.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All JasPer users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/jasper-1.900.1-r4"

References

• CVE-2011-4516
• CVE-2011-4517

Multiple memory management errors in JasPer might lead to execution of arbitrary code via jpeg2k files.

Affected packages

Package	Arch	Vulnerable	Unaffected
media-libs/jasper	*	< 1.900.1-r3	>= 1.900.1-r3

Background

The JasPer Project is an open-source initiative to provide a free software-based reference implementation of the codec specified in the JPEG-2000 Part-1 (jpeg2k) standard.

Description

Marc Espie and Christian Weisgerber have discovered multiple vulnerabilities in JasPer:

• Multiple integer overflows might allow for insufficient memory allocation, leading to heap-based buffer overflows (CVE-2008-3520).
• The jas_stream_printf() function in libjasper/base/jas_stream.c uses vsprintf() to write user-provided data to a static to a buffer, leading to an overflow (CVE-2008-3522).

Impact

Remote attackers could entice a user or automated system to process specially crafted jpeg2k files with an application using JasPer, possibly leading to the execution of arbitrary code.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All JasPer users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/jasper-1.900.1-r3"
