Debian DLA-1950-1 : openjpeg2 security update

high Nessus Plugin ID 129735

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

A heap buffer overflow vulnerability was discovered in openjpeg2, the open-source JPEG 2000 codec. This vulnerability is caused by insufficient validation of width and height of image components in color_apply_icc_profile (src/bin/common/color.c). Remote attackers might leverage this vulnerability via a crafted JP2 file, leading to denial of service (application crash) or any other undefined behavior.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 2.1.0-2+deb8u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your openjpeg2 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
