Alpine: openjpeg: security update to 2.3.1-r4

medium Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 405995

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

 - In OpenJPEG 2.3.1, there is excessive iteration in the opj_t1_encode_cblks function of openjp2/t1.c.
 Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted bmp file.
 This issue is similar to CVE-2018-6616. (CVE-2019-12973)

 - 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. (CVE-2020-15389)
