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

An update of the cairo 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.

  - 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)

  - Cairo version 1.15.4 is vulnerable to a NULL pointer dereference related to the FT_Load_Glyph and     FT_Render_Glyph resulting in an application crash. (CVE-2017-7475)

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 8 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: infinite loop in the function _arc_error_normalized in the file cairo-arc.c (CVE-2019-6462)

  - cairo through 1.15.14 has an out-of-bounds stack-memory write during processing of a crafted document by     WebKitGTK+ because of the interaction between cairo-rectangular-scan-converter.c (the generate and     render_rows functions) and cairo-image-compositor.c (the _cairo_image_spans_and_zero function).
    (CVE-2018-18064)

  - cairo 1.16.0, in cairo_ft_apply_variations() in cairo-ft-font.c, would free memory using a free function     incompatible with WebKit's fastMalloc, leading to an application crash with a free(): invalid pointer     error. (CVE-2018-19876)

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

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 :

  - An issue was discovered in cairo 1.16.0. There is an     infinite loop in the function _arc_error_normalized in     the file cairo-arc.c, related to
    _arc_max_angle_for_tolerance_normalized.(CVE-2019-6462)

  - An issue was discovered in cairo 1.16.0. There is an     assertion problem in the function
    _cairo_arc_in_direction in the file     cairo-arc.c.(CVE-2019-6461)

  - Cairo version 1.15.4 is vulnerable to a NULL pointer     dereference related to the FT_Load_Glyph and     FT_Render_Glyph resulting in an application     crash.(CVE-2017-7475)

  - A flaw was found in cairo's image-compositor.c in all     versions prior to 1.17.4. This flaw allows an attacker     who can provide a crafted input file to cairo's     image-compositor (for example, by convincing a user to     open a file in an application using cairo, or if an     application uses cairo on untrusted input) to cause a     stack buffer overflow -> out-of-bounds WRITE. The     highest impact from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality, integrity, as well as system     availability.(CVE-2020-35492)
