A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in OpenJPEG 1.3 (Image Processing Software). This affects an unknown code. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory allocation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-789. The product allocates memory based on an untrusted, large size value, but it does not ensure that the size is within expected limits, allowing arbitrary amounts of memory to be allocated. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

OpenJPEG 1.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or crash) via unspecified vectors.

The weakness was disclosed 12/12/2013 (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at debian.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2013-1447 since 01/26/2013. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. The technical details are unknown and an exploit is not publicly available.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 71517 (Scientific Linux Security Update : openjpeg on SL6.x i386/x86_64), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Scientific Linux Local Security Checks. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 350473 (Amazon Linux Security Advisory for openjpeg: ALAS-2014-271).

There is no information about possible countermeasures known. It may be suggested to replace the affected object with an alternative product.

The vulnerability is also documented in the databases at X-Force (89610) and Tenable (71517). The entries 65737, 65736, 65735 and 69496 are pretty similar.
