We did make an unreleased fix (Mercurial changeset 14953:38d0f281e8c8,
and earlier changeset 14831:28c0bb8bf89a), but perhaps not the way you
like. The fix which was made was to require that the embedded JPEG
data has the same dimensions as the containing JNG file. The existing
resource limit mechanism would then allow the user to constrain the
size of the JNG image. The default constraints in a 64-bit build are
larger than what the JPEG format supports.
It does not seem correct to change the default limits of the software
in order to make fuzzing easier.
