Description:
A security issue has been reported in JHead, which potentially can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain escalated privileges.
The security issue is caused due to a boundary error within the "DoCommand()" function in jhead.c. This can be exploited to cause a stack-based buffer overflow by tricking a user into using the "-cmd" argument to process a file having an overly long filename.
NOTE: Other similar security issues are reportedly also present.
This security issue is reported in versions prior to 2.84.
