Descriptions

Multiple integer overflows in the (1) jas_realloc function in base/jas_malloc.c and (2) mem_resize function in base/jas_stream.c in JasPer before 1.900.22 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted image, which triggers use after free vulnerabilities.

Múltiples desbordamientos de entero en la función (1) jas_realloc en base/jas_malloc.c y función (2) mem_resize en base/jas_stream.c en JasPer en versiones anteriores a 1.900.22 permiten a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio a través de una imagen manipulada, lo que desencadena vulnerabilidades de uso después de liberación.

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.
