Releases

Packages

  • openjpeg2 - JPEG 2000 image compression/decompression library

Details

It was discovered that OpenJPEG incorrectly handled certain memory
operations when using the command line ”-ImgDir” in a directory with a
large number of files, leading to an integer overflow vulnerability. An
attacker could potentially use this issue to cause a denial of service.
This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS,
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-29338)

It was discovered that OpenJPEG incorrectly handled decompressing certain
.j2k files in sycc420_to_rgb, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow
vulnerability. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening
a specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to
execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2021-3575)
