CVE-2012-1499
The JPEG 2000 codec (jp2.c) in OpenJPEG before 1.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted palette index in a CMAP record of a JPEG image, which triggers memory corruption, aka "out-of heap-based buffer write."
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.08%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
