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 Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The jpc_dec_process_siz function in libjasper/jpc/jpc_dec.c in JasPer before 1.900.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via a crafted YRsiz value in a BMP image to the imginfo command.
