Detailed vulnerability description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to heap-based buffer overflow in cv::Jpeg2KDecoder::readComponent8u in modules/imgcodecs/src/grfmt_jpeg2000.cpp when parsing malicious input. A remote attacker can supply specially crafted image, trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.
