Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions JasPer versions prior to 1.900.5

Description The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, specifically a NULL pointer dereference, by using a crafted BMP image in an imginfo command. This is due to a problem in the bmp getdata function.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.900.5, update to version 1.900.5 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the bmp getdata function until a patch is available. Avoid using the imginfo command with untrusted BMP images until the issue is resolved.
