CVE-2007-2721

Publication date 16 May 2007

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The jpc_qcx_getcompparms function in jpc/jpc_cs.c for the JasPer JPEG-2000 library (libjasper) before 1.900 allows remote user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly corrupt the heap via malformed image files, as originally demonstrated using imagemagick convert.
