Synopsis

The remote Mandriva Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

Updated jasper packages fix security vulnerabilities :

Josh Duart of the Google Security Team discovered heap-based buffer overflow flaws in JasPer, which could lead to denial of service (application crash) or the execution of arbitrary code (CVE-2014-9029).

A double free flaw was found in the way JasPer parsed ICC color profiles in JPEG 2000 image files. A specially crafted file could cause an application using JasPer to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code (CVE-2014-8137).

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way JasPer decoded JPEG 2000 image files. A specially crafted file could cause an application using JasPer to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code (CVE-2014-8138).

An off-by-one flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way JasPer decoded JPEG 2000 image files. A specially crafted file could cause an application using JasPer to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code (CVE-2014-8157).

An unrestricted stack memory use flaw was found in the way JasPer decoded JPEG 2000 image files. A specially crafted file could cause an application using JasPer to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code (CVE-2014-8158).
