NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jasper-utils package and not the jasper-utils package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

Multiple off-by-one errors in the (1) jpc_dec_cp_setfromcox and (2) jpc_dec_cp_setfromrgn functions in jpc/jpc_dec.c in JasPer 1.900.1 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted jp2 file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
