What is CVE-2019-12214?

The out-of-bounds access vulnerability in FreeImage version 3.18.0 is due to improper handling of data in the OpenJPEG j2k_read_ppm_v3 function found in j2k.c. When processing files, the function does not account for the possibility that the variable 'l_N_ppm' could exceed the allocated size of 'p_header_data'. This oversight can lead to data corruption and potential exploitation by unauthorized users.
