Title: libjpeg-turbo: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code
Date: December 31, 2016
Bugs: #585782
ID: 201612-55

Synopsis
========
An out-of-bounds read in libjpeg-turbo might allow remote attackers to
execute arbitrary code.
Background
==========
libjpeg-turbo is a JPEG image codec that uses SIMD instructions (MMX,
SSE2, NEON, AltiVec) to accelerate baseline JPEG compression and
decompression.
Affected packages
=================
——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-
1 media-libs/libjpeg-turbo
< 1.5.0 >= 1.5.0
Description
===========
The accelerated Huffman decoder was previously invoked if there were
128 bytes in the input buffer. However, it is possible to construct a
JPEG image with Huffman blocks > 430 bytes in length. This release
simply increases the minimum buffer size for the accelerated Huffman
decoder to 512 bytes, which should accommodate any possible input.
Impact
======
A remote attacker could coerce the victim to run a specially crafted
image file resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All libjpeg-turbo users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –oneshot –verbose “>=media-libs/libjpeg-turbo-1.5.0”
