Descriptions

The JPC_NOMINALGAIN function in jpc/jpc_t1cod.c in JasPer through 2.0.12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (JPC_COX_RFT assertion failure) via unspecified vectors.

La función JPC_NOMINALGAIN en jpc/jpc_t1cod.c en JasPer en la versión 2.0.12 permite a los atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (fallo de aserción JPC_COX_RFT) mediante vectores no especificados.

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.
