Descriptions

Double free vulnerability in the mem_close function in jas_stream.c in JasPer before 1.900.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted BMP image to the imginfo command.

Vulnerabilidad de liberación doble en la función mem_close en jas_stream.c en JasPer en versiones anteriores a 1.900.10 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída) o posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de una imagen BMP manipulada al comando imginfo.

It was discovered that JasPer incorrectly handled certain malformed JPEG-2000 image files. If a user or automated system using JasPer were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, an attacker could exploit this to cause a denial of service or possibly execute code with the privileges of the user invoking the program.
