CVE-2016-9396
The JPC_NOMINALGAIN function in jpc/jpc_t1cod.c in JasPer through 2.0.12 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (JPC_COX_RFT assertion failure) via unspecified vectors.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.76%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
