How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:8 jasper-libs to version 0:2.0.14-5.el8 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2021:4235.

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 RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

There's a flaw in jasper's jpc encoder in versions prior to 2.0.23. Crafted input provided to jasper by an attacker could cause an arbitrary out-of-bounds write. This could potentially affect data confidentiality, integrity, or application availability.
