CVE-2016-7163
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.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (7.11%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
