CVE-2016-1628

Status: ModifiedMedium (6.3)—

pi.c in OpenJPEG, as used in PDFium in Google Chrome before 48.0.2564.109, does not validate a certain precision value, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted JPEG 2000 image in a PDF document, related to the opj_pi_next_rpcl, opj_pi_next_pcrl, and opj_pi_next_cprl functions.

CVSS

Exploitation probability (EPSS)

EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
