Descriptions

The jpc_irct and jpc_iict functions in jpc_mct.c in JasPer before 1.900.14 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure).

Las funciones jpc_irct y jpc_iict en jpc_mct.c en JasPer en versiones anteriores a 1.900.14 permiten a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (fallo de aserción).

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.
