JasPer before version 2.0.12 is vulnerable to a use-after-free in the way it decodes certain JPEG 2000 image files resulting in a crash on the application using JasPer.
The product reuses or references memory after it has been freed. At some point afterward, the memory may be allocated again and saved in another pointer, while the original pointer references a location somewhere within the new allocation. Any operations using the original pointer are no longer valid because the memory “belongs” to the code that operates on the new pointer.
