Descriptions

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way openjpeg 2.1.2 decoded certain input images. Due to a logic error in the code responsible for decoding the input image, an application using openjpeg to process image data could crash when processing a crafted image.

Se ha detectado un error de desreferencia de puntero NULL en la forma en la que openjpeg 2.1.2 descifraba ciertas imágenes de entrada. Debido a un error de lógica en el código responsable de descifrar la imagen de entrada, una aplicación que emplee openjpeg para procesar datos de imágenes podría cerrarse inesperadamente al procesar una imagen manipulada.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in OpenJPEG, the worst of which may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. Versions less than 2.3.0:2 are affected.
