Synopsis

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in OpenJPEG, the worst of which could result in the arbitrary execution of code.

Background

OpenJPEG is an open-source JPEG 2000 library.

Affected packages

Package	Vulnerable	Unaffected	Architecture(s)
media-libs/openjpeg	< 2.4.0	>= 2.4.0	All supported architectures

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenJPEG. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact

Please review the referenced CVE identifiers for details.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All OpenJPEG 2 users should upgrade to the latest version:

      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/openjpeg-2.4.0:2"

Gentoo has discontinued support OpenJPEG 1.x and any dependent packages should now be using OpenJPEG 2 or have dropped support for the library. We recommend that users unmerge OpenJPEG 1.x:


      # emerge --unmerge "media-libs/openjpeg:1"
