CVE-2017-5504
The jpc_undo_roi function in libjasper/jpc/jpc_dec.c in JasPer 1.900.27 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory read and crash) via a crafted image.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.61%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
