NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openjpeg-libs package and not the openjpeg-libs package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

There's a flaw in openjpeg in versions prior to 2.4.0 in src/lib/openjp2/pi.c. When an attacker is able to provide crafted input to be processed by the openjpeg encoder, this could cause an out-of-bounds read. The greatest impact from this flaw is to application availability.
