CVE-2016-8332
HighSummary
A buffer overflow in OpenJPEG 2.1.1 can lead to arbitrary code execution when parsing a crafted image. Exploiting this vulnerability requires the user to open a malicious jpeg2000 file.
Risk Assessment
This vulnerability poses a risk of arbitrary code execution, potentially allowing an attacker to gain control over the system. PDF documents, which often use the jpeg2000 format, are a likely attack vector.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update the OpenJPEG library to the latest version and to monitor and scan PDF files for malicious content.

- CVE-2016-9114High
There is a NULL Pointer Access in function imagetopnm of convert.c in OpenJPEG 2.1.2. The value of image->comps[compno].data is not assigned after initialization, leading to a program crash.
- CVE-2016-9113High
There is a NULL pointer dereference in function imagetobmp of convertbmp.c:980 of OpenJPEG 2.1.2. The image->comps[0].data is not assigned a value after initialization (NULL), leading to Denial of Service.
- CVE-2016-9112High
A floating point exception (FPE) occurs in the opj_pi_next_cprl function in OpenJPEG 2.1.2, which may lead to calculation errors, including division by zero.
Original NVD description (English source)
A buffer overflow in OpenJPEG 2.1.1 causes arbitrary code execution when parsing a crafted image. An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in the jpeg2000 image file format parser as implemented in the OpenJpeg library. A specially crafted jpeg2000 file can cause an out of bound heap write resulting in heap corruption leading to arbitrary code execution. For a successful attack, the target user needs to open a malicious jpeg2000 file. The jpeg2000 image file format is mostly used for embedding images inside PDF documents and the OpenJpeg library is used by a number of popular PDF renderers making PDF documents a likely attack vector.
