35
FAUCET Score

CVE-2016-10504 is a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the opj_mqc_byteout function of OpenJPEG versions prior to 2.2.0. This flaw allows remote attackers to trigger a denial of service (application crash) by providing a specially crafted BMP file. Rated Medium severity (CVSS 6.5), it requires user interaction (UI:R) but has low attack complexity (AC:L) and no authentication (PR:N), leading to high availability impact (A:H). While not observed in active exploitation (KEV: No), public exploit code (EDB-42600) exists, though there is minimal community discussion or media coverage.
