Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
An out-of-bounds read in libjpeg-turbo might allow remote attackers to |
19 |
execute arbitrary code. |
20 |
|
21 |
Background |
22 |
========== |
23 |
|
24 |
libjpeg-turbo is a JPEG image codec that uses SIMD instructions (MMX, |
25 |
SSE2, NEON, AltiVec) to accelerate baseline JPEG compression and |
26 |
decompression. |
27 |
|
28 |
Affected packages |

================= |

Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |

Description |
38 |
=========== |
39 |
|
40 |
The accelerated Huffman decoder was previously invoked if there were |
41 |
128 bytes in the input buffer. However, it is possible to construct a |
42 |
JPEG image with Huffman blocks > 430 bytes in length. This release |
43 |
simply increases the minimum buffer size for the accelerated Huffman |
44 |
decoder to 512 bytes, which should accommodate any possible input. |
45 |
|
46 |
Impact |
47 |
====== |
48 |
|
49 |
A remote attacker could coerce the victim to run a specially crafted |
50 |
image file resulting in the execution of arbitrary code. |
51 |
|
52 |
Workaround |
53 |
========== |
54 |
|
55 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
56 |
|
57 |
Resolution |
58 |
========== |
59 |
|
60 |
All libjpeg-turbo users should upgrade to the latest version: |
61 |
|
62 |
# emerge --sync |
63 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/libjpeg-turbo-1.5.0" |
