Pull request 895 seems to be an initial attempt to fix this
issue. However, pull request 895 was never merged, and instead,
five issues which did not include issue 856 were fixed by
various commits created by upstream (these can be seen in PR
895) which utilized part of what was being proposed in 895 by
an openjpeg contributor. The changes proposed in 895 that were
not added by the upstream commits previously mentioned were
added to a new pull request, 975, which attempts to fix various
issues. Looking at comments in issue 863 it was possible to
verify that the fix for CVE-2016-9114 is possibly commit
2fa0fc61f2d (see CVE-2016-9114 for more details). This CVE
mentions a vulnerability similar to the one we have here in
CVE-2016-9113. Therefore, looking at the patch for CVE-2016-9114
and looking at the changes proposed by PR 975, it seems like
the changes in this PR aim to address CVE-2016-9113 in a way
similar to the one used to address CVE-2016-9114. PR 975 was
merged, however, it introduced regressions. See PR in order
to verify changes made after it was merged in order to fix
introduced regressions if adding patch.
