According to the versions of the jasper package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Multiple flaws were 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-2016-8654,     CVE-2016-9560, CVE-2016-10249, CVE-2015-5203,     CVE-2015-5221, CVE-2016-1577, CVE-2016-8690,     CVE-2016-8693, CVE-2016-8884, CVE-2016-8885,     CVE-2016-9262, CVE-2016-9591)

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The jpc_dec_tiledecode function in jpc_dec.c in JasPer before 1.900.8 allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (assertion failure) via a crafted file. (CVE-2016-8883)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

This update for jasper to version 1.900.14 fixes several issues.

These security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2008-3522: Buffer overflow in the jas_stream_printf     function in libjasper/base/jas_stream.c in JasPer might     have allowed context-dependent attackers to have an     unknown impact via vectors related to the mif_hdr_put     function and use of vsprintf (bsc#392410)

  - CVE-2015-5203: Double free corruption in JasPer     JPEG-2000 implementation (bsc#941919).

  - CVE-2015-5221: Use-after-free (and double-free) in     Jasper JPEG-200 (bsc#942553).

  - CVE-2016-1577: Double free vulnerability in the     jas_iccattrval_destroy function in JasPer allowed remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or     possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted ICC color     profile in a JPEG 2000 image file, a different     vulnerability than CVE-2014-8137 (bsc#968373).

  - CVE-2016-2116: Memory leak in the     jas_iccprof_createfrombuf function in JasPer allowed     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory     consumption) via a crafted ICC color profile in a JPEG     2000 image file (bsc#968373)

  - CVE-2016-8690: NULL pointer dereference in bmp_getdata     triggered by crafted BMP image (bsc#1005084).

  - CVE-2016-8691, CVE-2016-8692: Missing range check on     XRsiz and YRsiz fields of SIZ marker segment     (bsc#1005090).

  - CVE-2016-8693: The memory stream interface allowed for a     buffer size of zero. The case of a zero-sized buffer was     not handled correctly, as it could lead to a double free     (bsc#1005242).

  - CVE-2016-8880: Heap overflow in jpc_dec_cp_setfromcox()     (bsc#1006591).

  - CVE-2016-8881: Heap overflow in jpc_getuint16()     (bsc#1006593).

  - CVE-2016-8882: NULL pointer access in jpc_pi_destroy     (bsc#1006597).

  - CVE-2016-8883: Assert triggered in jpc_dec_tiledecode()     (bsc#1006598).

  - CVE-2016-8886: Memory allocation failure in jas_malloc     (jas_malloc.c) (bsc#1006599).
