The internal openjpeg parser has been disabled by default and can be re-
enabled by passing --enable-libopenjpeg=unmaintained - I tested this and
it fixes this bug.

It is not only unmaintained and not recommended to use but they mention
having known security issues with the code (and perhaps no plans to
fix*).

Adding security team as I'd definitely want their opinion before moving
forward.

*It appears at least one likely related CVE was fixed by security team -
"fix NULL pointer dereference in JPXStream::readUByte" but not
upstreamed.
