CVE-2016-8884
CVSS v3.1
5.5
Medium
| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H |
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.Exploit
