Descriptions

The JPEG library in media-libs/jpeg before 6b-r7 on Gentoo Linux is built without the -maxmem feature, which could allow context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion) via a crafted JPEG file that exceeds the intended memory limits.

This GLSA contains notification of vulnerabilities found in several Gentoo packages which have been fixed prior to January 1, 2011. The worst of these vulnerabilities could lead to local privilege escalation and remote code execution.
