CVE-2008-3521  (opens in a new tab)
CWE-59  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 jasper to version 1.900.1-5.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jasper package and not the jasper package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

Race condition in the jas_stream_tmpfile function in libjasper/base/jas_stream.c in JasPer 1.900.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (program exit) by creating the appropriate tmp.XXXXXXXXXX temporary file, which causes Jasper to exit. NOTE: this was originally reported as a symlink issue, but this was incorrect. NOTE: some vendors dispute the severity of this issue, but it satisfies CVE's requirements for inclusion.
