NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libjpeg6b package and not the libjpeg6b package as distributed by Ubuntu.

In IJG JPEG (aka libjpeg) before 9d, jpeg_mem_available() in jmemnobs.c in djpeg does not honor the max_memory_to_use setting, possibly causing excessive memory consumption.
