Vulnerability details

The vulnerability allows a local unauthenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists in the opj_t1_encode_cblks function, which is defined in the openjp2/t1.c source code file, due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A local attacker can submit a specially crafted BMP file and cause the service to crash.
