The jpc_crg_getparms function in libjasper/jpc/jpc_cs.c in JasPer 1.900.1 uses an incorrect data type during a certain size calculation, which allows remote attackers to trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code, or cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption), via a crafted component registration (CRG) marker segment in a JPEG2000 file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2011-4517 is a JasPer JPEG2000 parsing flaw. A crafted image file can corrupt heap memory when processed, potentially allowing code execution or causing a crash. Business risk is highest where servers, desktop tools, or automated pipelines process untrusted JPEG2000 files. Exposure is likely where JasPer 1.900.1 or affected distribution packages are used directly or embedded in image viewers, converters, upload processors, thumbnailers, or document workflows that parse JPEG2000 content. The bundle does not enumerate exact downstream affected products. Treat this as a patching priority for systems that process external image files. The vulnerability is old, but file parser bugs can persist in embedded libraries and legacy workflows. Urgency is lower if JPEG2000 parsing is absent or isolated. Mitigation focus: Apply relevant JasPer updates from your operating system or product vendor.; Check Red Hat, Ubuntu, Debian, SUSE, Fedora, IBM, Oracle, and Slackware advisories where applicable.; Temporarily avoid processing untrusted JPEG2000 files on vulnerable systems..
