In libjpeg-turbo 2.0.2, a large amount of memory can be used during processing of an invalid progressive JPEG image containing incorrect width and height values in the image header. NOTE: the vendor's expectation, for use cases in which this memory usage would be a denial of service, is that the application should interpret libjpeg warnings as fatal errors (aborting decompression) and/or set limits on resource consumption or image sizes

An update of the libjpeg package has been released.

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.

  - libjpeg-turbo: Invalid memory access in the fill_input_buffer function (CVE-2017-9614)

  - libjpeg-turbo: several integer overflows and subsequent segfaults when attempting to compress/decompress     gigapixel images (CVE-2019-2201)

  - libjpeg-turbo before 1.3.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted JPEG     file, related to the Exif marker. (CVE-2014-9092)

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