CVE-2016-9573

Published: 1 August 2018

An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in OpenJPEG 2.1.2, in the j2k_to_image tool. Converting a specially crafted JPEG2000 file to another format could cause the application to crash or, potentially, disclose some data from the heap.

It seems like commit a817832c223 (szukw000:AFL_PATCH_0) was the final
commit created by a contributor in order to fix this issue. This
commit contains the changes in commit 7b28bd2b723 (szukw000:863-862)
which originally attempts to fix this issue. Commit a817832c223 (pull
request 895 for more information) contains the changes in commit
7b28bd2b723, which fixes more than just issues 862 and 863. This commit,
however, was never merged and issue 892, related to this CVE, was
instead fixed by another commit: 2fa0fc61f2d (which seems to have
introduced a regression, fixed by 784d4d47e97).
