NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jbig2dec package and not the jbig2dec package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

Artifex jbig2dec 0.13, as used in Ghostscript, allows out-of-bounds writes because of an integer overflow in the jbig2_build_huffman_table function in jbig2_huffman.c during operations on a crafted JBIG2 file, leading to a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execution of arbitrary code.
