JPEG-2000 images, which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem will be fixed in
version 1.900.1-5.1+lenny2. Due to technical limitations of the Debian
archive software, the oldstable update cannot be released synchronously

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your jasper packages.
