Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.59190
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-501-1 (jasper)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to jasper
announced via advisory USN-501-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10
Ubuntu 7.04

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

Details follow:

It was discovered that Jasper did not correctly handle corrupted JPEG2000
images. By tricking a user into opening a specially crafted JPG, a
remote attacker could cause the application using libjasper to crash,
resulting in a denial of service.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
libjasper-1.701-1 1.701.0-2ubuntu0.6.06

Ubuntu 6.10:
libjasper-1.701-1 1.701.0-2ubuntu0.6.10

Ubuntu 7.04:
libjasper-1.701-1 1.701.0-2ubuntu0.7.04

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
