Summary
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the JasPer library
for processing JPEG-2000 images, which may result in denial of service
or the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed image is processed.
For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.900.1-debian1-2.4+deb8u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your jasper packages.
