MGASA-2012-0165 Date: July 14th, 2012 Affected releases: 1, 2 Description: Updated openjpeg packages fix security vulnerability: An input validation flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way OpenJPEG handled the tile number and size in an image tile header. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted image file that, when decoded using an application linked against OpenJPEG, would cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application (CVE-2012-3358). Updated Packages: Mageia 1: lib(64)openjpeg2-1.3-7.2.mga1 lib(64)openjpeg-devel-1.3-7.2.mga1 Mageia 2: openjpeg-1.5.0-1.3.mga2 lib(64)openjpeg1-1.5.0-1.3.mga2 lib(64)openjpeg-devel-1.5.0-1.3.mga2 References: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-3358 https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2012-1068.html https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6758 https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Support/Advisories/MGASA-2012-...
