| Description: | Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to jasper
announced via advisory MDVSA-2009:142-1.
Vulnerability Insight:
Multiple security vulnerabilities has been identified and fixed
in jasper:
The jpc_qcx_getcompparms function in jpc/jpc_cs.c for the JasPer
JPEG-2000 library (libjasper) before 1.900 allows remote user-assisted
attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly corrupt
the heap via malformed image files, as originally demonstrated using
imagemagick convert (CVE-2007-2721).
Multiple integer overflows in JasPer 1.900.1 might allow
context-dependent attackers to have an unknown impact via a crafted
image file, related to integer multiplication for memory allocation
(CVE-2008-3520).
The jas_stream_tmpfile function in libjasper/base/jas_stream.c in
JasPer 1.900.1 allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via
a symlink attack on a tmp.XXXXXXXXXX temporary file (CVE-2008-3521).
Buffer overflow in the jas_stream_printf function in
libjasper/base/jas_stream.c in JasPer 1.900.1 might allow
context-dependent attackers to have an unknown impact via
vectors related to the mif_hdr_put function and use of vsprintf
(CVE-2008-3522).
The updated packages have been patched to prevent this.
Update:
Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for
