Not really; the fix therein for CVE-2015-5203 broke ABI on 64-bit 
systems by changing the size of an existing member of a public struct 
(int to size_t), just that they neglected to bump the ABI version until 
afterwards:

For compatibility with packages currently linked with libjasper1, this 
needs to be reverted in part.  Here is what Fedora is currently shipping 
on stable branches:

Then, we could update to 1.900.29, or even 2.0.10 -- which should 
provide libjasper4 -- against which all jasper-dependent packages would 
then have to be rebuilt.
