Changes in version 2.1 (2014-04-08)
This is a security-critical bug-fix release that remains API and ABI
backwards compatible to version 2.0. Users who process BIE data from
untrusted sources should upgrade.
- fixed a buffer-overflow vulnerability in the jbig.c decoder,
reported by Florian Weimer (Red Hat): CVE-2013-6369
- fixed ability of corrupted input data to force jbig85.c decoder
into an end-less loop
- fixed a bug in the processing of private deterministic-prediction
tables (DPPRIV=1) in jbig.c decoder
- fixed integer-type mismatches in printf arguments on 64-bit systems
- fuzz-testing script added
JBIG-KIT implements a highly effective data compression algorithm for
bi-level high-resolution images such as fax pages or scanned
documents.
JBIG-KIT provides a portable library of compression and decompression
functions with a documented interface. You can very easily include
into your image or document processing software. In addition, JBIG-KIT
provides ready-to-use compression and decompression programs with a
simple command line interface (similar to the converters found in Jef
Poskanzer's PBM graphics file conversion package).
