A vulnerability was found in JasPer up to 4.2.5. Affected by this vulnerability is the function jas_image_chclrspc of the file src/libjasper/base/jas_image.c of the component Image Color Space Conversion Handler. The manipulation leads to null pointer dereference. It is possible to launch the attack on the local host. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The identifier of the patch is bb7d62bd0a2a8e0e1fdb4d603f3305f955158c52. It is recommended to apply a patch to fix this issue.

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:03367-1 advisory.

    - CVE-2025-8835: missing range check in the JPEG-2000 (JPC) Encoder leads to assertion failure and crash     when       processing a malformed JPEG2000 image with an invalid `cblkwidth` parameter (bsc#1247904).
    - CVE-2025-8836: out-of-bounds array indexing in function `jas_image_chclrspc` leads to crash when     processing a       malformed image file with BMP output format and color space conversion (bsc#1247902).
    - CVE-2025-8837: missing operations in cleanup code of the JPEG-2000 (JPC) Encoder leads to use-after-free     when       processing malformed JPEG2000 images with certain debug levels enabled (bsc#1247901).

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
