## Description

The init\_tile function in libavcodec/jpeg2000dec.c in FFmpeg before 2.8.2
does not enforce minimum-value and maximum-value constraints on tile
coordinates, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via
crafted JPEG 2000 data.
