Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenJPEG versions prior to 2.2.0

Description The issue is related to NULL pointer dereference vulnerabilities in several functions, including imagetopnm in convert.c, sycc444 to rgb, color esycc to rgb, and sycc422 to rgb in color.c. These vulnerabilities can be exploited by remote attackers using crafted j2k files, leading to a denial of service (application crash).

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.2.0, update to version 2.2.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the vulnerable functions until a patch is available. Avoid processing crafted j2k files with the affected OpenJPEG versions to minimize the risk of exploitation.
