Can you elaborate?
I'm not sure how decompressing a JPEG file may be a security problem, either it decompress correctly or it doesn't and the X Server should return an error to the browser, but how is this a security problem?

Of course in case of decompression error, there is a loss of performance due to the unneeded transfer of the JPEG, but errors should be very rare..
