Code execution via unchecked Ndecomp memory fills
Published Feb 12, 2025 · Updated Feb 26, 2026
Heap-based buffer overflow in NVIDIA nvJPEG2000 0.8.0 allows remote attackers to execute code via a crafted JPEG2000 file. The COD-segment parser uses the unvalidated Ndecomp byte as the length for two memory fills, writing past a per-tile heap buffer. Exploitation requires an application to parse an attacker-supplied file on a CUDA-enabled system; corruption can alter size fields or function-pointer bytes.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
