CVE-2016-9675

22
FAUCET Score

CVE-2016-9675 is a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in OpenJPEG, affecting various Red Hat Enterprise Linux distributions and UCLouvain products. This flaw, a regression from a previous patch, allows a specially crafted J2K image to cause application crashes or potentially arbitrary code execution. With a CVSS v3.1 score of 7.8 (High), it requires user interaction (UI:R) and local access (AV:L) to exploit, but can lead to high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts. While no active exploitation, public exploit code, or significant community discussion has been observed, its potential for serious impact warrants attention.
