## Description

Heap-based buffer overflow in the JPEG2000 image tile decoder in OpenJPEG
before 1.5.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted
file because of incorrect j2k\_decode, j2k\_read\_eoc, and tcd\_decode\_tile
interaction, a related issue to CVE-2013-6045. NOTE: this is not a
duplicate of CVE-2013-1447, because the scope of CVE-2013-1447 was
specifically defined in http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2013/12/04/6
as only "null pointer dereferences, division by zero, and anything that
would just fit as DoS."
