CVE-2016-9389
The jpc_irct and jpc_iict functions in jpc_mct.c in JasPer before 1.900.14 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure).
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.41%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
