A stack-based buffer overflow was discovered in the pgxtoimage function in bin/jp2/convert.c in OpenJPEG 2.2.0.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (5.65%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
