Overview
Several security issues were fixed in libjxl.
Releases
Packages
- jpeg-xl - Reference codec implementation for JPEG XL compressed raster image format
Details
It was discovered that libjxl did not perform proper bounds checking
when parsing Exif tags. An attacker could possibly use this issue to
cause libjxl to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2023-0645)
It was discovered that libjxl did not perform proper bounds checking
when decoding patches. An attacker could possibly use this issue to
cause libjxl to enter an infinite loop, resulting in a denial of
service. (CVE-2023-35790)
It was discovered that libjxl did not perform proper bounds checking
when performing JPEG recompression. An attacker could possibly use this
issue to cause libjxl to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or
possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-11403)
It was discovered that libjxl incorrectly handled parsing certain image
files. An attacker could possibly use this issue...
