  - A size-validation issue was discovered in opj_j2k_write_sot in lib/openjp2/j2k.c in OpenJPEG 2.2.0. The
    vulnerability causes an out-of-bounds write, which may lead to remote denial of service (heap-based buffer
    overflow affecting opj_write_bytes_LE in lib/openjp2/cio.c) or possibly remote code execution. NOTE: this
    vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-14152. (CVE-2017-14164)
