Descriptions

In OpenJPEG 2.3.0, there is an integer overflow caused by an out-of-bounds left shift in the opj_j2k_setup_encoder function (openjp2/j2k.c). Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted bmp file.

En OpenJPEG 2.3.0, hay un desbordamiento de enteros provocado por un desplazamiento a la izquierda fuera de límites en la función opj_j2k_setup_encoder (openjp2/j2k.c). Los atacantes remotos pueden aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para provocar una denegación de servicio (DoS) mediante un archivo bmp manipulado.

OpenJPEG is an open source library for reading and writing image files in JPEG2000 format. Issues addressed include buffer overflow, code execution, denial of service, double free, integer overflow, null pointer, out of bounds read, out of bounds write, and use-after-free vulnerabilities.
