Heap-based buffer overflow in OpenJPEG 1.5.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted JPEG2000 file.

This update fixes a heap-based buffer overflow in OpenJPEG which could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted JPEG2000 file.

Openjpeg release notes report :

That CVE-2012-3535 and CVE-2012-3358 are fixed in the 1.5.1 release.

That CVE-2013-4289, CVE-2013-4290, CVE-2013-1447, CVE-2013-6045, CVE-2013-6052, CVE-2013-6054, CVE-2013-6053, CVE-2013-6887, where fixed in the 1.5.2 release.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201310-07 (OpenJPEG: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code)

    OpenJPEG contains an invalid free error and multiple buffer overflow       flaws. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted JPEG       file, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of       Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

It was found that OpenJPEG failed to sanity-check an image header field before using it. A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted image file that could cause an application linked against OpenJPEG to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2012-3535)

From Red Hat Security Advisory 2012:1283 :

Updated openjpeg packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section.

OpenJPEG is an open source library for reading and writing image files in JPEG 2000 format.

It was found that OpenJPEG failed to sanity-check an image header field before using it. A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted image file that could cause an application linked against OpenJPEG to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2012-3535)

This issue was discovered by Huzaifa Sidhpurwala of the Red Hat Security Response Team.

Users of OpenJPEG should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a patch to correct this issue. All running applications using OpenJPEG must be restarted for the update to take effect.

Updated openjpeg packages fix security vulnerability :

An out-of heap-based buffer bounds read and write flaw, leading to invalid free, was found in the way a tile coder / decoder (TCD) implementation of OpenJPEG, an open source JPEG 2000 codec written in C language, performed releasing of previously allocated memory for the TCD encoder handle by processing certain Gray16 TIFF images. A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted TIFF image file, which once converted into the JPEG 2000 file format with an application linked against OpenJPEG (such as 'image_to_j2k'), would lead to that application crash, or, potentially arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running the application (CVE-2009-5030).

An input validation flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was found in the way OpenJPEG handled the tile number and size in an image tile header. A remote attacker could provide a specially crafted image file that, when decoded using an application linked against OpenJPEG, would cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application (CVE-2012-3358).

- CVE-2009-5030     Heap memory corruption leading to invalid free when     processing certain Gray16 TIFF images.

  - CVE-2012-3358     Huzaifa Sidhpurwala of the Red Hat Security Response     Team found a heap-based buffer overflow in JPEG2000     image parsing.

  - CVE-2012-3535     Huzaifa Sidhpurwala of the Red Hat Security Response     Team found a heap-based buffer overflow when decoding     JPEG2000 images.
