Description

Artifex jbig2dec 0.13 allows out-of-bounds writes and reads because of an integer overflow in the jbig2_image_compose function in jbig2_image.c during operations on a crafted .jb2 file, leading to a denial of service (application crash) or disclosure of sensitive information from process memory.

Solution(s)

  • ubuntu-upgrade-jbig2dec
  • ubuntu-upgrade-libjbig2dec0
