CVE-2020-27843

Published: 5 January 2021

A flaw was found in OpenJPEG in versions prior to 2.4.0. This flaw allows an attacker to provide specially crafted input to the conversion or encoding functionality, causing an out-of-bounds read. The highest threat from this vulnerability is system availability.

Notes

AuthorNote
sahnaseredini
the fix is not complete in bionic as the poc is still working.
Also there's a commit in the upstream (07d526e) that is
reverting some optimisations and (apparently) fixes the issue,
however, it does not relate to the CVE, and looks more like a
bug fix.
