  - OpenJPH through 0.32.0 contains a heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the HTJ2K cleanup-pass decoder
    that allows attackers to corrupt memory via one-row codeblocks. Attackers can supply a crafted .j2c or
    .jph codestream with small precinct sizes, causing the decoder to write a second row past the codeblock
    buffer, resulting in memory corruption and crashes. (CVE-2026-111151)
