Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions libjpeg-turbo versions through 1.5.90 MozJPEG versions through 3.3.1

Description The issue is related to a buffer over-read in the get 8bit row function in rdbmp.c of the libjpeg library. This can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service, leading to a heap-based buffer over-read and application crash. The exploitation is possible via a crafted 8-bit BMP file where one or more color indices are out of range for the number of palette entries.

Recommendations For libjpeg-turbo versions through 1.5.90, update to a version later than 1.5.90 to resolve the issue. For MozJPEG versions through 3.3.1, update to a version later than 3.3.1 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the get 8bit row function in rdbmp.c until a patch is available.
