The bmp_read_info_header function in bin/jp2/convertbmp.c in OpenJPEG 2.2.0 does not reject headers with a zero biBitCount, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory allocation failure) in the opj_image_create function in lib/openjp2/image.c, related to the opj_aligned_alloc_n function in opj_malloc.c.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 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.

  - openjpeg: Stack-buffer overflow in the pgxtoimage function (CVE-2017-17479)

  - OpenJPEG 1.5.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via unspecified vectors that trigger     NULL pointer dereferences, division-by-zero, and other errors. (CVE-2013-6887)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the opj_mqc_byteout function in mqc.c in OpenJPEG before 2.2.0     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted bmp file.
    (CVE-2016-10504)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

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.

  - openjpeg: Stack-buffer overflow in the pgxtoimage function (CVE-2017-17479)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the opj_mqc_byteout function in mqc.c in OpenJPEG before 2.2.0     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted bmp file.
    (CVE-2016-10504)

  - 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. (CVE-2016-10505)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4782-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that OpenJPEG incorrectly handled certain image files. A remote attacker could possibly     use this issue to cause a denial of service. CVE-2016-10506 and CVE-2017-12982 affected only Ubuntu 16.04     ESM. CVE-2018-16375, CVE-2018-20845 and CVE-2019-12973 affected only Ubuntu 18.04 ESM.

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.

This update fixes CVE-2017-12982, CVE-2017-14040, CVE-2017-14041 and two other security vulnerabilities.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora update system website.
Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201710-26 (OpenJPEG: Multiple vulnerabilities)
