Descriptions

There's a flaw in openjpeg in versions prior to 2.4.0 in src/lib/openjp2/pi.c. When an attacker is able to provide crafted input to be processed by the openjpeg encoder, this could cause an out-of-bounds read. The greatest impact from this flaw is to application availability.

Se presenta un fallo en openjpeg en versiones anteriores a 2.4.0 en el archivo src/lib/openjp2/pi.c. Cuando un atacante es capaz de proporcionar una entrada diseñada para ser procesada por el codificador de openjpeg, esto podría causar una lectura fuera de límites. El mayor impacto de este fallo es la disponibilidad de la aplicación

Sebastian Poeplau discovered that OpenJPEG incorrectly handled certain inputs. If a user or an automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
