+ <title>JasPer: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code</title>
+ <synopsis>Multiple memory management errors in JasPer could result in

+ <background>
+ <p>The JasPer Project is an open-source initiative to provide a free
+ software-based reference implementation of the codec specified in the
+ JPEG-2000 Part-1 (jpeg2k) standard.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>Two vulnerabilities have been found in JasPer:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>The jpc_cox_getcompparms function in libjasper/jpc/jpc_cs.c contains
+ an error that could overwrite certain callback pointers, possibly
+ causing a heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-2011-4516).
+ </li>
+ <li>The jpc_crg_getparms function in libjasper/jpc/jpc_cs.c uses an
+ incorrect data type, possibly causing a heap-based buffer overflow
+ (CVE-2011-4517).
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to process
+ specially crafted JPEG-2000 files with an application using JasPer,
+ possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges
+ of the application, or a Denial of Service.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All JasPer users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/jasper-1.900.1-r4"
+ </code>
