Packages
- openjpeg2 - JPEG 2000 image compression/decompression library
Details
It was discovered that OpenJPEG incorrectly handled certain image data. An
attacker could use this issue to cause OpenJPEG to crash, leading to a
denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 16.04
-
libopenjp2-7
-
2.1.2-1.1+deb9u6build0.16.04.1
