CVE-2018-9154

- WeaknessCWE-20
Am I affected?
Debian, Ubuntu or Red Hat sometimes backport a fix without changing the upstream version number: such a version reads « to verify », never « affected ».With a domain, we read the version its public headers and pages expose. A distribution build can carry the fix under an older number.
Description
There is a reachable abort in the function jpc_dec_process_sot in libjasper/jpc/jpc_dec.c of JasPer 2.0.14 that will lead to a remote denial of service attack by triggering an unexpected jas_alloc2 return value, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-13745.
