Details

Two heap-based buffer overflow have been found in the jasper library, leading to arbitrary code execution [1] (CVE-2014-9029). I believe we should backport the patch [2] contributed from the Red Hat Security Team, as it does not seem likely that a new version addressing this issue will be released soon.
