In OpenJPEG 2.3.0, a stack-based buffer overflow was discovered in the pgxtoimage function in jpwl/convert.c. The vulnerability causes an out-of-bounds write, which may lead to remote denial of service or possibly remote code execution.

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.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5664-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that OpenJPEG did not properly handle PNM headers, resulting in a null pointer     dereference. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service (DoS).
    (CVE-2016-7445)

    It was discovered that OpenJPEG incorrectly handled certain image files resulting in division by zero.

    A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service (DoS). (CVE-2016-9112 and     CVE-2016-10506)

    It was discovered that OpenJPEG incorrectly handled converting certain image files resulting in a stack     buffer overflow. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service (DoS).
    (CVE-2017-17479)

    It was discovered that OpenJPEG incorrectly handled converting PNM image files resulting in a null pointer     dereference. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service (DoS).
    (CVE-2018-18088)

    It was discovered that OpenJPEG incorrectly handled converting DWT images files resulting in a buffer     overflow. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service (DoS).
    (CVE-2020-27824)

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 openjpeg package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - In OpenJPEG 2.3.0, a stack-based buffer overflow was discovered in the pgxtoimage function in     jpwl/convert.c. The vulnerability causes an out-of-bounds write, which may lead to remote denial of     service or possibly remote code execution. (CVE-2017-17479)

According to the versions of the openjpeg package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An invalid write access was discovered in     bin/jp2/convert.c in OpenJPEG 2.2.0, triggering a crash     in the tgatoimage function. The vulnerability may lead     to remote denial of service or possibly unspecified     other impact.(CVE-2017-14040)

  - A stack-based buffer overflow was discovered in the     pgxtoimage function in bin/jp2/convert.c in OpenJPEG     2.2.0. The vulnerability causes an out-of-bounds write,     which may lead to remote denial of service or possibly     remote code execution.(CVE-2017-14041)
