Use-after-free vulnerability in the mif_process_cmpt function in libjasper/mif/mif_cod.c in the JasPer JPEG-2000 library before 1.900.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted JPEG 2000 image file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2015-5221 is a JasPer JPEG-2000 parsing flaw. A specially crafted JPEG-2000 image can crash software using vulnerable JasPer code. The cited record describes denial of service, not confirmed code execution or data theft. Exposure is most likely where servers, desktop tools, or automated pipelines process untrusted JPEG-2000 images through JasPer before 1.900.2. The source bundle does not identify specific application CPEs beyond JasPer packaging. Treat this as a moderate operational availability risk. Prioritize internet-facing or automated image-processing workflows first, especially where untrusted files can trigger service crashes. Mitigation focus: Upgrade JasPer to 1.900.2 or a vendor-fixed package.; Apply relevant Debian, Fedora, Red Hat, Ubuntu, or openSUSE security updates.; Limit processing of untrusted JPEG-2000 files where patching is delayed..
