CVE-2026-51808 Details
Description
Buffer Overflow vulnerability in OpenHTJ2K v.0.18.4 and before allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code via the openhtj2k_decoder_impl::invoke, invoke_line_based, invoke_line_based_stream, and invoke_line_based_predecoded function in source/core/interface/decoder.cpp
A buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in OpenHTJ2K versions through 0.18.4. This vulnerability allows an attacker to execute arbitrary code by exploiting the openhtj2k_decoder_impl::invoke, invoke_line_based, invoke_line_based_stream, and invoke_line_based_predecoded functions in source/core/interface/decoder.cpp. The issue arises from unchecked tile indices in the J2K tile dispatch process, leading to out-of-bounds memory access and information leaks.
Users are advised to upgrade to OpenHTJ2K version 0.18.5, which addresses the vulnerability by validating SOT tile indices before processing, preventing out-of-bounds memory access and associated information leaks.
