Ubuntu 10.04 LTS / 10.10 / 11.04 / 11.10 : jasper vulnerabilities (USN-1315-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 57357

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

Jonathan Foote discovered that JasPer incorrectly handled certain malformed JPEG-2000 image files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted JPEG-2000 image file, a remote attacker could cause JasPer to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges.

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

Solution

Update the affected libjasper1 package.
