15 Synopsis
16 ========
17
18 Multiple integer overflow flaws have been discovered in jbig2dec,
19 possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code or Denial of Service.
20
21 Background
22 ==========
23
24 jbig2dec is a decoder implementation of the JBIG2 image compression
25 format.
26
27 Affected packages
28 =================
29
30 -------------------------------------------------------------------
31 Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
32 -------------------------------------------------------------------
33 1 media-libs/jbig2dec < 0.13-r4 >= 0.13-r4
34
35 Description
36 ===========
37
38 Integer overflow errors have been discovered in the
39 jbig2_decode_symbol_dict, jbig2_build_huffman_table, and
40 jbig2_image_compose functions of jbig2dec.
41
42 Impact
43 ======
44
45 A remote attacker, by enticing a user to open a specially crafted JBIG2
46 file using an application linked against jbig2dec, could possibly
47 execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or cause a
48 Denial of Service condition.
49
50 Workaround
51 ==========
52
53 There is no known workaround at this time.
54
55 Resolution
56 ==========
57
58 All jbig2dec users should upgrade to the latest version:
59
60 # emerge --sync
61 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/jbig2dec-0.13-r4"
