NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openjpeg2 package and not the openjpeg2 package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

jp2/opj_decompress.c in OpenJPEG through 2.3.1 has a use-after-free that can be triggered if there is a mix of valid and invalid files in a directory operated on by the decompressor. Triggering a double-free may also be possible. This is related to calling opj_image_destroy twice.
