Updated openjpeg2 packages fix security vulnerabilities

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way openjpeg decoded certain input images. Due to a logic error in the code responsible for decoding the input image, an application using openjpeg to process image data could crash when processing a crafted image (CVE-2016-9572).

A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in the way openjpeg decompressed certain input images. Due to an insufficient check in the imagetopnm() function, an application using openjpeg to process image data could crash when processing a crafted image (CVE-2016-9573).

An integer overflow vulnerability was found in tiftoimage function resulting into heap buffer overflow (CVE-2016-9580).

An infinite loop vulnerability in tiftoimage that results into heap buffer overflow in convert_32s_C1P1 was found (CVE-2016-9581)

Updated openjpeg packages fix security vulnerability

Multiple integer overflows in the opj_tcd_init_tile function in tcd.c in OpenJPEG, as used in PDFium in Google Chrome before 52.0.2743.116, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JPEG 2000 data. (CVE-2016-5139)

Multiple integer overflows in the opj_tcd_init_tile function in tcd.c in OpenJPEG, as used in PDFium in Google Chrome before 53.0.2785.89 on Windows and OS X and before 53.0.2785.92 on Linux, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JPEG 2000 data.

Multiple integer overflows in OpenJPEG, as used in PDFium in Google Chrome before 53.0.2785.89 on Windows and OS X and before 53.0.2785.92 on Linux, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JPEG 2000 data that is mishandled during opj_aligned_malloc calls in dwt.c and t1.c. (CVE-2016-5159)

Integer overflow in the opj_pi_create_decode function in pi.c in OpenJPEG allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted JP2 file, which triggers an out-of-bounds read or write. (CVE-2016-7163)
