Description Andrej Nemec 2016-01-19 09:26:31 UTC 
A vulnerability was found in a way OpenJpeg parses certain JPEG 2000 image files. The function opj_j2k_update_image_data is vulnerable to heap buffer overflow. A specially crafted file can crash the application.

Created openjpeg tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1299768]
Affects: epel-6 [bug 1299770]
Affects: epel-7 [bug 1299771]
Comment 2 Andrej Nemec 2016-01-19 09:27:49 UTC 
Created mingw-openjpeg tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1299769]
Comment 3 Sandro Mani 2016-09-18 08:23:12 UTC 
The functions affected by the vulnerability do not exist in openjpeg 1.x, so this is actually NOTABUG. What is the correct way to close this bug and dependent bugs?
Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2016-09-18 11:53:20 UTC 
marking it (and dependents) as CLOSED->NOTABUG (with explanation, of course) should suffice
Comment 5 Sandro Mani 2016-09-18 12:01:59 UTC 
Closing since this vulnerability does not affect openjpeg 1.x (the affected functions to not exist in openjpeg 1.x).

Thank you for checking it! But it would be better if you just close the bugs filed against Fedora/EPEL (as a maintainer) and leave closing this (flaw)bug for Product Security.

Thanks!

While that's true for openjpeg, we were missing openjpeg2 and mingw-openjpeg2 from the list of affected packages. Re-opening this flaw; tracking bugs for Fedora/EPEL have been filed.
Comment 10 Doran Moppert 2016-09-21 00:26:42 UTC 
I am unable to reproduce the crash on current Fedora openjpeg, however discussion in the upstream patch talks about fixing integer overflow issues associated with use of opj_int_ceildiv.

See also bug 1299772 (same upstream ticket) and bug 1374329 comment #14 which may be related.
