Descriptions
The cjpeg utility in libjpeg allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted file.
La utilidad cjpeg en libjpeg permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (referencia a puntero NULL y caída de aplicación) o ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un archivo manipulado.
The libjpeg-turbo packages contain a library of functions for manipulating JPEG images. They also contain simple client programs for accessing the libjpeg functions. These packages provide the same functionality and API as libjpeg but with better performance. Issues addressed include denial of service and null pointer vulnerabilities.
