CVE-2016-5159 describes multiple integer overflows in OpenJPEG, specifically within PDFium in Google Chrome versions prior to 53.0.2785.89 on Windows/OS X and 53.0.2785.92 on Linux. This vulnerability, rated 8.8 HIGH (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), allows remote attackers to trigger a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or potentially achieve other unspecified impacts through crafted JPEG 2000 data. While the EPSS score is low and it's not on the KEV catalog, indicating a low likelihood of active exploitation, its high CVSS score reflects significant potential impact (Confidentiality, Integrity, Availability). There is no public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and community discussion and media coverage are minimal, suggesting it is not widely targeted.
