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 integer overflows in the (1) jas_realloc function in base/jas_malloc.c and (2) mem_resize function in base/jas_stream.c in JasPer before 1.900.22 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted image, which triggers use after free vulnerabilities.
