HighCVSS 8.8Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
High risk83th percentile - higher than 83% of all known CVEs
Summary
A vulnerability in JasPer 1.900.8 through 1.900.31 and 2.0.0 through 2.0.16 is a heap-based buffer overflow of size 1 in the function jas_icctxtdesc_input in libjasper/base/jas_icc.c. It may lead to memory corruption and potential code execution.
Risk Assessment
This may result in memory corruption, application crash, or potential code execution in the context of the process handling a malicious image file. The risk is high in systems processing untrusted image files.
Recommendation
Upgrade JasPer to a version newer than 2.0.16 or apply the vendor patch. Also avoid processing untrusted image files in applications using JasPer.
