NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream jbig2dec package and not the jbig2dec package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:14.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

Artifex jbig2dec 0.13 allows out-of-bounds writes and reads because of an integer overflow in the jbig2_image_compose function in jbig2_image.c during operations on a crafted .jb2 file, leading to a denial of service (application crash) or disclosure of sensitive information from process memory.
