CVE-2016-9583: An out-of-bounds heap read vulnerability was found in the jpc_pi_nextpcrl() function of jasper before 2.0.6 when processing crafted input.

HighCVSS 7.8 · v3.0—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 32/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 1.8% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 79.8% of all records.
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: jasper (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 2.0.33-1.2; jasper (SUSE:Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 SP1) 1.900.14-194.1; jasper (SUSE:Linux Enterprise Software Development Kit 11 SP4) 1.900.14-134.32.1.
  • Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 5.5, NVD 7.8.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to jasper (openSUSE:Tumbleweed) 2.0.33-1.2; jasper (SUSE:Linux Enterprise Desktop 12 SP1) 1.900.14-194.1; jasper (SUSE:Linux Enterprise Software Development Kit 11 SP4) 1.900.14-134.32.1 or later.
