Heap-based buffer overflow in OpenJPEG 1.5.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted JPEG2000 file.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
