Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201209-13 (libjpeg-turbo: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code)

 A vulnerability in the get_sos() function in jdmarker.c could cause a heap-based buffer overflow.
 Impact :

 A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted JPEG file in an application linked against libjpeg-turbo, possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running the application, or Denial of Service.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All libjpeg-turbo users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=media-libs/libjpeg-turbo-1.2.1' Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying some of these packages.
