NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ghostscript package and not the ghostscript package as distributed by Ubuntu.
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.
