CVE-2019-5125

Status: ModifiedHigh (7.8)—

An exploitable heap overflow vulnerability exists in the JPEG2000 parsing functionality of LEADTOOLS 20. A specially crafted J2K image file can cause an out of bounds write of a heap buffer, potentially resulting in code execution. An attack can specially craft a J2K image to trigger this vulnerability.

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).
