Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Arbitrary Code Execution. Integer signedness error in format_jpeg.c in Asterisk 1.2.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a length value that passes a length check as a negative number, but triggers a buffer overflow when it is used as an unsigned length.
