Description
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.
libavcodec/jpeg2000dec.c in FFmpeg before 2.1 does not ensure the use of valid code-block dimension values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JPEG2000 data.
Remediation
