CVE-2014-8157
Off-by-one error in the jpc_dec_process_sot function in JasPer 1.900.1 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted JPEG 2000 image, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 16.9%, higher than 97% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
