  <background>
    <p>libjpeg-turbo is a JPEG image codec that uses SIMD instructions (MMX,
      SSE2, NEON, AltiVec) to accelerate baseline JPEG compression and
      decompression.
    </p>
  </background>
  <description>
    <p>The accelerated Huffman decoder was previously invoked if there were 128
      bytes in the input buffer. However, it is possible to construct a JPEG
      image with Huffman blocks &gt; 430 bytes in length. This release simply
      increases the minimum buffer size for the accelerated Huffman decoder to
      512 bytes, which should accommodate any possible input.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker could coerce the victim to run a specially crafted
      image file resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All libjpeg-turbo users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/libjpeg-turbo-1.5.0"
    </code>
