CVE-2016-8654

A heap-buffer overflow vulnerability was found in QMFB code in JPC codec caused by buffer being allocated with too small size. jasper versions before 2.0.0 are affected.

The jasper package has been updated and patched to fix several security issues.

These are all security issues fixed in the jasper-1.900.14-3.1 package on the GA media of openSUSE Tumbleweed.

This update for jasper fixes the following issues:

• CVE-2016-8654: Heap-based buffer overflow in QMFB code in JPC codec. (bsc#1012530)
• CVE-2016-9395: Invalid jasper files could lead to abort of the library caused by attacker provided image. (bsc#1010977)
• CVE-2016-9398: Invalid jasper files could lead to abort of the library caused by attacker provided image. (bsc#1010979)
• CVE-2016-9560: Stack-based buffer overflow in jpc_tsfb_getbands2. (bsc#1011830)
• CVE-2016-9591: Use-after-free on heap in jas_matrix_destroy. (bsc#1015993)

It was discovered that JasPer incorrectly handled certain malformed JPEG-2000 image files. If a user or automated system using JasPer were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
