Upgrade Ubuntu:22.04 openjpeg2 to version 2.3.1-1ubuntu5 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openjpeg2 package and not the openjpeg2 package as distributed by Ubuntu.
See How to fix? for Ubuntu:22.04 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.
