A head-based buffer overflow exists in Academy Software Foundation OpenEXR 2.3.0 in writeTileData in ImfTiledOutputFile.cpp that can cause a denial of service via a crafted EXR file.

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.

  - OpenEXR: Heap-buffer-overflow in Imf_2_5::copyIntoFrameBuffer (CVE-2021-23169)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Academy Software Foundation OpenEXR 2.3.0 in     chunkOffsetReconstruction in ImfMultiPartInputFile.cpp that can cause a denial of service via a crafted     EXR file. (CVE-2020-16587)

  - A head-based buffer overflow exists in Academy Software Foundation OpenEXR 2.3.0 in writeTileData in     ImfTiledOutputFile.cpp that can cause a denial of service via a crafted EXR file. (CVE-2020-16589)

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 Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3236 advisory.

  - A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists in Academy Software Foundation OpenEXR 2.3.0 in     chunkOffsetReconstruction in ImfMultiPartInputFile.cpp that can cause a denial of service via a crafted     EXR file. (CVE-2020-16587)

  - A Null Pointer Deference issue exists in Academy Software Foundation OpenEXR 2.3.0 in generatePreview in     makePreview.cpp that can cause a denial of service via a crafted EXR file. (CVE-2020-16588)

  - A head-based buffer overflow exists in Academy Software Foundation OpenEXR 2.3.0 in writeTileData in     ImfTiledOutputFile.cpp that can cause a denial of service via a crafted EXR file. (CVE-2020-16589)

  - A flaw was found in OpenEXR in versions before 3.0.0-beta. A crafted input file supplied by an attacker,     that is processed by the Dwa decompression functionality of OpenEXR's IlmImf library, could cause a NULL     pointer dereference. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.
    (CVE-2021-20296)

  - A flaw was found in OpenEXR's B44Compressor. This flaw allows an attacker who can submit a crafted file to     be processed by OpenEXR, to exhaust all memory accessible to the application. The highest threat from this     vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2021-20298)

  - A flaw was found in OpenEXR's Multipart input file functionality. A crafted multi-part input file with no     actual parts can trigger a NULL pointer dereference. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     system availability. (CVE-2021-20299)

  - A flaw was found in OpenEXR's hufUncompress functionality in OpenEXR/IlmImf/ImfHuf.cpp. This flaw allows     an attacker who can submit a crafted file that is processed by OpenEXR, to trigger an integer overflow.
    The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2021-20300)

  - A flaw was found in OpenEXR's TiledInputFile functionality. This flaw allows an attacker who can submit a     crafted single-part non-image to be processed by OpenEXR, to trigger a floating-point exception error. The     highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2021-20302)

  - A flaw found in function dataWindowForTile() of IlmImf/ImfTiledMisc.cpp. An attacker who is able to submit     a crafted file to be processed by OpenEXR could trigger an integer overflow, leading to an out-of-bounds     write on the heap. The greatest impact of this flaw is to application availability, with some potential     impact to data integrity as well. (CVE-2021-20303)

  - An integer overflow leading to a heap-buffer overflow was found in the DwaCompressor of OpenEXR in     versions before 3.0.1. An attacker could use this flaw to crash an application compiled with OpenEXR.
    (CVE-2021-23215)

  - An integer overflow leading to a heap-buffer overflow was found in the DwaCompressor of OpenEXR in     versions before 3.0.1. An attacker could use this flaw to crash an application compiled with OpenEXR. This     is a different flaw from CVE-2021-23215. (CVE-2021-26260)

  - There's a flaw in OpenEXR in versions before 3.0.0-beta. A crafted input file that is processed by OpenEXR     could cause a shift overflow in the FastHufDecoder, potentially leading to problems with application     availability. (CVE-2021-3474)

  - There is a flaw in OpenEXR in versions before 3.0.0-beta. An attacker who can submit a crafted file to be     processed by OpenEXR could cause an integer overflow, potentially leading to problems with application     availability. (CVE-2021-3475)

  - A flaw was found in OpenEXR's B44 uncompression functionality in versions before 3.0.0-beta. An attacker     who is able to submit a crafted file to OpenEXR could trigger shift overflows, potentially affecting     application availability. (CVE-2021-3476)

  - There's a flaw in OpenEXR's deep tile sample size calculations in versions before 3.0.0-beta. An attacker     who is able to submit a crafted file to be processed by OpenEXR could trigger an integer overflow,     subsequently leading to an out-of-bounds read. The greatest risk of this flaw is to application     availability. (CVE-2021-3477)

  - There's a flaw in OpenEXR's scanline input file functionality in versions before 3.0.0-beta. An attacker     able to submit a crafted file to be processed by OpenEXR could consume excessive system memory. The     greatest impact of this flaw is to system availability. (CVE-2021-3478)

  - There's a flaw in OpenEXR's Scanline API functionality in versions before 3.0.0-beta. An attacker who is     able to submit a crafted file to be processed by OpenEXR could trigger excessive consumption of memory,     resulting in an impact to system availability. (CVE-2021-3479)

  - There's a flaw in OpenEXR's ImfDeepScanLineInputFile functionality in versions prior to 3.0.5. An attacker     who is able to submit a crafted file to an application linked with OpenEXR could cause an out-of-bounds     read. The greatest risk from this flaw is to application availability. (CVE-2021-3598)

  - There's a flaw in OpenEXR's rleUncompress functionality in versions prior to 3.0.5. An attacker who is     able to submit a crafted file to an application linked with OpenEXR could cause an out-of-bounds read. The     greatest risk from this flaw is to application availability. (CVE-2021-3605)

  - An integer overflow could occur when OpenEXR processes a crafted file on systems where size_t < 64 bits.
    This could cause an invalid bytesPerLine and maxBytesPerLine value, which could lead to problems with     application stability or lead to other attack paths. (CVE-2021-3933)

  - In ImfChromaticities.cpp routine RGBtoXYZ(), there are some division operations such as `float Z = (1 -     chroma.white.x - chroma.white.y) * Y / chroma.white.y;` and `chroma.green.y * (X + Z))) / d;` but the     divisor is not checked for a 0 value. A specially crafted file could trigger a divide-by-zero condition     which could affect the availability of programs linked with OpenEXR. (CVE-2021-3941)

  - OpenEXR 3.1.x before 3.1.4 has a heap-based buffer overflow in Imf_3_1::LineCompositeTask::execute (called     from IlmThread_3_1::NullThreadPoolProvider::addTask and IlmThread_3_1::ThreadPool::addGlobalTask). NOTE:
    db217f2 may be inapplicable. (CVE-2021-45942)

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

This update for openexr fixes the following issues :

  - CVE-2020-16588: Fixed a NULL pointer deference in     generatePreview (bsc#1179879).

  - CVE-2020-16589: Fixed a heap-based buffer overflow in     writeTileData in ImfTiledOutputFile.cpp (bsc#1179879).

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15:Update update project.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4676-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that OpenEXR incorrectly handled certain malformed EXR image files. If a user were     tricked into opening a crafted EXR image file, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service, or     possibly execute arbitrary code.

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