I'm not really able to provide any more information than what's given in the Debian's report.

1. Statement explaining the impact: no idea, besides that JasPer UUID handling is buggy in current Ubuntu 9.10, so impact may be significant to those who rely on JasPer library (i.e. GDAL tools set).

2. How the bug has been addressed: probably includes this patch already, ported from Debian package.

3. The patch (URL) is included in the Debian's report.

4. The test case would not be trivial, but a complex program. One way is to run unit tests of GDAL (http://www.gdal.org) and observe JasPer throws segmentation fault because of the issue explained in the original report submitted to Debian.

5. No idea.
