How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:6 openjpeg-devel to version 0:1.3-8.el6_3 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2012:1068.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openjpeg-devel package and not the openjpeg-devel package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The tcd_free_encode function in tcd.c in OpenJPEG 1.3 through 1.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted tile information in a Gray16 TIFF image, which causes insufficient memory to be allocated and leads to an "invalid free."
