Synopsis
========

Multiple integer overflow flaws have been discovered in jbig2dec,
possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code or Denial of Service.

Background
==========

jbig2dec is a decoder implementation of the JBIG2 image compression
format.

Affected packages
=================

——————————————————————-
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
——————————————————————-
1 media-libs/jbig2dec < 0.13-r4 >= 0.13-r4

Description
===========

Integer overflow errors have been discovered in the
jbig2_decode_symbol_dict, jbig2_build_huffman_table, and
jbig2_image_compose functions of jbig2dec.

Impact
======

A remote attacker, by enticing a user to open a specially crafted JBIG2
file using an application linked against jbig2dec, could possibly
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or cause a
Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All jbig2dec users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge –sync
# emerge –ask –oneshot –verbose “>=media-libs/jbig2dec-0.13-r4”
