There are lots of memory leaks in JasPer 2.0.12, triggered in the function jas_strdup() in base/jas_string.c, that will lead to a remote denial of service attack.
The product does not release a resource after its effective lifetime has ended, i.e., after the resource is no longer needed.
https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/772.html →Open in CWE collection →An attacker performs flooding at the HTTP level to bring down only a particular web application rather than anything listening on a TCP/IP connection. This denial of service attack requires substantially fewer packets to be sent which makes DoS harder to detect. This is an equivalent of SYN flood in HTTP. The idea is to keep the HTTP session alive indefinitely and then repeat that hundreds of times. This attack targets resource depletion weaknesses in web server software. The web server will wait to attacker's responses on the initiated HTTP sessions while the connection threads are being exhausted.
