How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:7 openjpeg to version 0:1.5.1-16.el7_3 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2017:0838.

NVD Description

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

Integer overflow in the opj_pi_create_decode function in pi.c in OpenJPEG allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted JP2 file, which triggers an out-of-bounds read or write.
