JBIG-KIT: Denial of service — GLSA 201405-20

A stack-based buffer overflow in JBIG-KIT might allow remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service.

Package	media-libs/jbigkit on all architectures
Affected versions	< 2.1
Unaffected versions	>= 2.1

JBIG-KIT is a software implementation of the JBIG1 data compression standard.

JBIG-KIT contains a stack-based buffer overflow in the jbg_dec_in function in libjbig/jbig.c.

A remote attacker could possibly cause a Denial of Service condition via a specially crafted image file.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All JBIG-KIT users should upgrade to the latest version:

 # emerge --sync
 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/jbigkit-2.1"
