Am I affected?
Debian, Ubuntu or Red Hat sometimes backport a fix without changing the upstream version number: such a version reads « to verify », never « affected ».With a domain, we read the version its public headers and pages expose. A distribution build can carry the fix under an older number.
Description
Integer overflow in the jas_matrix_create function in JasPer allows context-dependent attackers to have unspecified impact via a crafted JPEG 2000 image, related to integer multiplication for memory allocation.
