package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected in libjpeg-turbo:

A Heap-based buffer overflow was found in the way libjpeg-turbo
decompressed certain corrupt JPEG images in which the component
count was erroneously set to a large value. An attacker could create
a specially-crafted JPEG image that, when opened, could cause an
application using libpng to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary
code with the privileges of the user running the application
(CVE-2012-2806).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Affected Software/OS:
libjpeg-turbo on Mandriva Linux 2011.0

Solution:
Please Install the Updated Packages.
