Discussion

JasPer JPC_QCX_GetCompParm Function JP2 File Handling Remote Denial of Service Vulnerability

JasPer is prone to a remote denial-of-service vulnerability because the application fails to handle specially crafted JP2 files.

Exploiting this issue allows remote attackers to crash the application, denying further service to legitimate users.

This issue affects JasPer 1.900 and 1.900.1; other versions may also be affected.
