The jpc_dec_tilefini function in libjasper/jpc/jpc_dec.c in JasPer before 1.900.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) via a crafted file.

Weakness

A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit.
