Ubuntu Security Notice 2483-1 - Jose Duart discovered that JasPer incorrectly handled ICC color profiles in JPEG-2000 image files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted JPEG-2000 image file, a remote attacker could cause JasPer to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. Jose Duart discovered that JasPer incorrectly decoded certain malformed JPEG-2000 image files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted JPEG-2000 image file, a remote attacker could cause JasPer to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. Various other issues were also addressed.

opened a specially crafted file.
Software Description:
- jasper: Library for manipulating JPEG-2000 files
Details:
Jose Duart discovered that JasPer incorrectly handled ICC color profiles in
JPEG-2000 image files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially
crafted JPEG-2000 image file, a remote attacker could cause JasPer to crash
or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. (CVE-2014-8137)
Jose Duart discovered that JasPer incorrectly decoded certain malformed
JPEG-2000 image files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially
crafted JPEG-2000 image file, a remote attacker could cause JasPer to crash
or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. (CVE-2014-8138)
It was discovered that JasPer incorrectly handled certain malformed
JPEG-2000 image files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially
crafted JPEG-2000 image file, a remote attacker could cause JasPer to crash
or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. (CVE-2014-8157)
It was discovered that JasPer incorrectly handled memory when processing
JPEG-2000 image files. If a user were tricked into opening a specially
crafted JPEG-2000 image file, a remote attacker could cause JasPer to crash
or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges. (CVE-2014-8158)
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 14.10:
libjasper1 1.900.1-debian1-2ubuntu0.2
