libjpeg-turbo vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

- Ubuntu 12.04 ESM

Summary:

libjpeg-turbo could be made to crash or run programs as your login if
it opened a specially crafted file.

Software Description:

Details:

USN-3706-1 fixed a vulnerability in libjpeg-turbo. This update provides
the corresponding update for Ubuntu 12.04 ESM.

Original advisory details:

 It was discovered that libjpeg-turbo incorrectly handled certain
 malformed JPEG images. If a user or automated system were tricked into
 opening a specially crafted JPEG image, a remote attacker could cause
 libjpeg-turbo to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly
 execute arbitrary code.
