NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libjpeg-turbo package and not the libjpeg-turbo package as distributed by Alpine. See How to fix? for Alpine:3.9 relevant fixed versions and status.

get_8bit_row in rdbmp.c in libjpeg-turbo through 1.5.90 and MozJPEG through 3.3.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted 8-bit BMP in which one or more of the color indices is out of range for the number of palette entries.
