Comment 1 Wolfgang Frisch 2020-12-15 16:01:33 UTC

I did a git bisect and the earliest vulnerable commit is:

commit 84f3bebbff515f2b00ccf0c817930ebb10b91760 (refs/bisect/bad)
Author: Even Rouault <even.rouault@spatialys.com>

    Implement writing of IMF profiles

    Add -IMF switch to opj_compress as well
----------------------------------------------------------------------

None of the PoCs triggers a buffer over-read without -IMF.
