Description
A flaw was found in Netpbm's jbigtopnm conversion utility. An integer overflow occurs when calculating output buffer dimensions for multi-plane JBIG (Joint Bi-level Image Experts Group) images with large header sizes, resulting in an undersized memory allocation. By convincing a user to process a specially crafted JBIG file, an attacker could trigger a heap-based buffer overflow, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or a Denial of Service (DoS) crash.
