Discussion

OpenJPEG 'cio.c' Remote Heap Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

OpenJPEG is prone to a remote heap-based buffer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to properly bounds-check user-supplied input before copying it to an insufficiently sized memory buffer.

An attacker can exploit this issue to crash the affected application, resulting in denial-of-service conditions. Due to the nature of this issue, arbitrary code execution may be possible but this has not been confirmed.

Versions prior to OpenJPEG 2.2.0 are vulnerable.
