An input validation flaw and multiple integer overflows were discovered in
the JasPer library providing support for JPEG-2000 image format and used in
the jpeg2ktopam and pamtojpeg2k converters. An attacker could create a
carefully-crafted JPEG file which could cause jpeg2ktopam to crash or,
possibly, execute arbitrary code as the user running jpeg2ktopam.
A flaw was found in the way mod_auth_mysql escaped certain
multibyte-encoded strings. If mod_auth_mysql was configured to use a
multibyte character set that allowed a backslash '\' as part of the
character encodings, a remote attacker could inject arbitrary SQL commands
into a login request.
An insufficient input validation flaw was discovered in the VNC client
application, vncviewer. If an attacker could convince a victim to connect
to a malicious VNC server, or when an attacker was able to connect to
vncviewer running in the "listen" mode, the attacker could cause the
victim's vncviewer to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
Fixed packages are available now.
