In OpenJPEG 2.3.0, a stack-based buffer overflow was discovered in the pgxtovolume function in jp3d/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 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4109-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that OpenJPEG incorrectly handled certain PGX files. An attacker could possibly use this     issue to cause a denial of service or possibly remote code execution. (CVE-2017-17480)

    It was discovered that OpenJPEG incorrectly handled certain files. An attacker could possibly use this     issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-14423)

    It was discovered that OpenJPEG incorrectly handled certain PNM files. An attacker could possibly use this     issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-18088)

    It was discovered that OpenJPEG incorrectly handled certain BMP files. An attacker could possibly use this     issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-5785, CVE-2018-6616)

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 openjpeg2 package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - An issue was discovered in mj2/opj_mj2_extract.c in     OpenJPEG 2.3.0. The output prefix was not checked for     length, which could overflow a buffer, when providing a     prefix with 50 or more characters on the command     line.(CVE-2018-7648)

  - In OpenJPEG 2.3.0, a stack-based buffer overflow was     discovered in the pgxtovolume function in     jp3d/convert.c. The vulnerability causes an     out-of-bounds write, which may lead to remote denial of     service or possibly remote code     execution.(CVE-2017-17480)

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

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in openjpeg2, the open-source JPEG 2000 codec, that could be leveraged to cause a denial of service or possibly remote code execution.

  - CVE-2017-17480     Write stack-based buffer overflow in the jp3d and jpwl     codecs can result in a denial of service or remote code     execution via a crafted jp3d or jpwl file.

  - CVE-2018-5785     Integer overflow can result in a denial of service via a     crafted bmp file.

  - CVE-2018-6616     Excessive iteration can result in a denial of service     via a crafted bmp file.

  - CVE-2018-14423     Division-by-zero vulnerabilities can result in a denial     of service via a crafted j2k file.

  - CVE-2018-18088     NULL pointer dereference can result in a denial of     service via a crafted bmp file.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in openjpeg2, the open-source JPEG 2000 codec.

CVE-2017-17480

Write stack-based buffer overflow due to missing buffer length formatter in fscanf call (jp3d and jpwl codecs). This vulnerability might be leveraged by remote attackers using crafted jp3d and jpwl files to cause denial of service or possibly remote code execution.

CVE-2018-18088

NULL pointer dereference caused by null image components in imagetopnm. This vulnerability might be leveraged by remote attackers using crafted BMP files to cause denial of service.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 2.1.0-2+deb8u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your openjpeg2 packages.
