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."

Updated openjpeg packages fix security vulnerability
Updated openjpeg packages fix security vulnerability:
A heap-based buffer overflow was found in the way openjpeg parsed certain image files from a JPEG2000 image. If a specially-crafted image were opened by an application linked against OpenJPEG, it could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application (CVE-2014-0158).
