NULL pointer dereference vulnerabilities in the imagetopnm function in convert.c, sycc444_to_rgb function in color.c, color_esycc_to_rgb function in color.c, and sycc422_to_rgb function in color.c in OpenJPEG before 2.2.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via crafted j2k files.

Weakness

A NULL pointer dereference occurs when the application dereferences a pointer that it expects to be valid, but is NULL, typically causing a crash or exit.
