    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in openjpeg2, the     open-source JPEG 2000 codec, which could result in denial of service or     the execution of arbitrary code if malformed images are processed.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     2.4.0-3+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your openjpeg2 packages.
