Detail

Race condition in the jas_stream_tmpfile function in libjasper/base/jas_stream.c in JasPer 1.900.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (program exit) by creating the appropriate tmp.XXXXXXXXXX temporary file, which causes Jasper to exit. NOTE: this was originally reported as a symlink issue, but this was incorrect. NOTE: some vendors dispute the severity of this issue, but it satisfies CVE's requirements for inclusion.

Title: DSA-2036-1 jasper -- programming error
Description: It was discovered that the JasPer JPEG-2000 runtime library allowed an attacker to create a crafted input file that could lead to denial of service and heap corruption. Besides addressing this vulnerability, this updates also addresses a regression introduced in the security fix for CVE-2008-3521, applied before Debian Lenny’s release, that could cause errors when reading some JPEG input files. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1.900.1-5.1+lenny1. For the unstable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 1.900.1-6. We recommend that you upgrade your jasper package.
