Integer overflow in the write_png function in cairo 1.14.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference) via a large svg file.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - cairo: Out-of-bounds read due to mishandling of unexpected malloc(0) call (CVE-2017-9814)

  - Integer overflow in the write_png function in cairo 1.14.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (invalid pointer dereference) via a large svg file. (CVE-2016-9082)

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5407-1 advisory.

    Gustavo Grieco, Alberto Garcia, Francisco Oca, Suleman Ali, and others discovered that Cairo incorrectly     handled certain files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service.
    (CVE-2016-9082, CVE-2017-9814, CVE-2019-6462)

    Stephan Bergmann discovered that Cairo incorrectly handled certain files. An attacker could possibly use     this issue to cause a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2020-35492)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to the versions of the cairo packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Cairo is a 2D graphics library designed to provide     high-quality display and print output. Currently     supported output targets include the X Window System,     OpenGL (via glitz), in-memory image buffers, and image     files (PDF, PostScript, and SVG). Cairo is designed to     produce consistent output on all output media while     taking advantage of display hardware acceleration when     available (e.g. through the X Render Extension or     OpenGL). Security Fix(es):cairo-truetype-subset.c in     cairo 1.15.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) because     of mishandling of an unexpected malloc(0)     call.(CVE-2017-9814)Integer overflow in the write_png     function in cairo 1.14.6 allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (invalid pointer dereference)     via a large svg file.(CVE-2016-9082)

It was discovered that there was a possible DoS attack in Cairo, a multi-platform library providing vector-based rendering. An SVG could generate invalid pointers from a _cairo_image_surface in write_png.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', this issue has been fixed in cairo version 1.12.2-3+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your cairo packages.
