Package : jasper
CVE ID : CVE-2014-8157 CVE-2014-8158
Debian Bug : 775970
An off-by-one flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow
(CVE-2014-8157), and an unrestricted stack memory use flaw
(CVE-2014-8158) were found in JasPer, a library for manipulating
JPEG-2000 files. A specially crafted file could cause an application
using JasPer to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.900.1-13+deb7u3.
For the upcoming stable distribution (jessie) and the unstable
distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your jasper packages.
