For libmng, you bundle the ancient version 1.0.10 from 2009 (!). The current
version is 2.0.3 from 2015:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/libmng/files/libmng-devel/
Despite the new major version number, qt5-qtimageformats compiles with no
changes against that version.
For JPEG2000:

That would be an option. But I would start by just getting the Jasper
security fixes from a GNU/Linux distribution (e.g.:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/jasper.git/tree/
) and applying them to your bundled copy.
