CVE-2016-10248
The jpc_tsfb_synthesize function in jpc_tsfb.c in JasPer before 1.900.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via vectors involving an empty sequence.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.04%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
