## Technical details

The vulnerability is a heap-based buffer overflow in OPJ file parsing caused by insufficient validation of user-supplied data length before copying to a heap buffer. Exploitation requires local attack vector with user interaction (opening a malicious OPJ file), and allows arbitrary code execution in the viewer's process context.
