NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jasper-libs package and not the jasper-libs package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The bmp_getdata function in libjasper/bmp/bmp_dec.c in JasPer before 1.900.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via a crafted BMP image in an imginfo command.
