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 |

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" |
