Description The issue is caused by a buffer over-read in the JPEG 2000 module, where an invalid JPEG 2000 input code stream leads to a computation resulting in a location outside valid memory locations belonging to the buffer. This can be used to obtain sensitive information, such as object heap addresses. Additionally, the vulnerability allows attackers to execute code remotely.
