Jasper · Jasper · CVE-2016-8884
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
JasPer version 1.900.5
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by calling the imginfo command with a crafted BMP image, resulting in a NULL pointer dereference. This is due to an incomplete fix for a previous issue.
**Recommendations**
For JasPer version 1.900.5, consider avoiding the use of the `bmp getdata` function in libjasper/bmp/bmp dec.c until a complete fix is available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the processing of crafted BMP images to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this issue.
