A flaw was found in the opj2_decompress program in openjpeg2 in the way it handles an input directory with a large number of files. When it fails to allocate a buffer to store the filenames of the input directory, it calls free() on an uninitialized pointer, leading to a segmentation fault and a denial of service.



For Debian 8 jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 2.1.0-2+deb8u14.

We recommend that you upgrade your openjpeg2 packages.
