Synopsis
========
Multiple memory management errors in JasPer might lead to execution of
arbitrary code via jpeg2k files.
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.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-libs/jasper < 1.900.1-r3 >= 1.900.1-r3
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"
