Description Todd Cullum 2020-12-09 01:53:56 UTC 
In openjpeg v2.3.1 and prior, there's a heap buffer overflow in opj_tcd_dc_level_shift_encode() causing an out-of-bounds WRITE when crafted input is processed by the encoder and -d option is used.

Comment 4 Todd Cullum 2020-12-09 23:39:20 UTC 
Statement:

Red Hat Product Security has rated this flaw with Moderate severity because it affects the encoder functionality specifically when performing an image conversion and not general reading of image files.
Comment 5 Todd Cullum 2020-12-09 23:40:08 UTC 
Mitigation:

This flaw can be mitigated by not using openjpeg to convert untrusted image files.
