Despite this library is used by many programs (http://www.ece.uvic.ca/~frodo/jasper/#overview), there is no one providing support.Use CVE-2015-8751.
Hi, Just a quick heads-up: We at Red Hat originally fixed this as part of the patch for CVE-2008-3520. This was a rather big patch and closed a lot of potential integer overflows (originally from OpenBSD?). I imagine a lot of distros used the same patch. The original description for CVE-2008-3520 is quite general, so I'm not sure if that's enough to say that CVE-2015-8751 is a dupe or not. -- Stefan Cornelius / Red Hat Product Security
