CVE-2019-12973
Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted bmp file.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.60%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
Description
In OpenJPEG 2.3.1, there is excessive iteration in the opj_t1_encode_cblks function of openjp2/t1.c. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted bmp file. This issue is similar to CVE-2018-6616.
