CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9573

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information or cause the service to crash.

The vulnerability exists in the j2k_to_image component due to due to a heap-based buffer overflow when the j2k_to_image tool handles red, green, blue, and alpha (RGBA) channel dimensions.

2) NULL pointer dereference

EUVDB-ID: #VU36803

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9572

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error 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. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
