An issue was discovered in AdvanceCOMP through 2.1. A NULL pointer dereference exists in the function be_uint32_read() located in endianrw.h. It can be triggered by sending a crafted file to a binary. It allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact when a victim opens a specially crafted file.

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2019-2332 advisory.

    - Resolves: #1711051, CVE-2019-8383 denial of service

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle Linux security advisory.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5671-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that AdvanceCOMP did not properly manage memory of function be_uint32_read() under     certain circumstances. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted binary file, a remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to cause AdvanceCOMP to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
    (CVE-2019-8379)

    It was discovered that AdvanceCOMP did not properly manage memory of function adv_png_unfilter_8() under     certain circumstances. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted PNG file, a remote attacker     could possibly use this issue to cause AdvanceCOMP to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

The remote Debian 9 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2868 advisory.

  - An out-of-bounds heap buffer read flaw was found in the way advancecomp before 2.1-2018/02 handled     processing of ZIP files. An attacker could potentially use this flaw to crash the advzip utility by     tricking it into processing crafted ZIP files. (CVE-2018-1056)

  - An issue was discovered in AdvanceCOMP through 2.1. A NULL pointer dereference exists in the function     be_uint32_read() located in endianrw.h. It can be triggered by sending a crafted file to a binary. It     allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other     impact when a victim opens a specially crafted file. (CVE-2019-8379)

  - An issue was discovered in AdvanceCOMP through 2.1. An invalid memory address occurs in the function     adv_png_unfilter_8 in lib/png.c. It can be triggered by sending a crafted file to a binary. It allows an     attacker to cause a Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact when     a victim opens a specially crafted file. (CVE-2019-8383)

  - In AdvanceCOMP 2.1, png_compress in pngex.cc in advpng has an integer overflow upon encountering an     invalid PNG size, which results in an attempted memcpy to write into a buffer that is too small. (There is     also a heap-based buffer over-read.) (CVE-2019-9210)
