A vulnerability classified as problematic has been found in FFmpeg up to 2.8.1 (Multimedia Processing Software). This affects the function init_tile
of the file libavcodec/jpeg2000dec.c of the component JPEG 2000 Data Handler. The manipulation of the argument coordinate
with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does
not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the
properties that are required to process the data safely and
correctly. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:
The init_tile function in libavcodec/jpeg2000dec.c in FFmpeg before 2.8.2 does not enforce minimum-value and maximum-value constraints on tile coordinates, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds array access) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted JPEG 2000 data.
