Buffer Overflow vulnerability in function LoadRGB in PluginDDS.cpp in FreeImage 3.18.0 allows remote attackers to run arbitrary code and cause other impacts via crafted image file.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 23.04 / 23.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-6586-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that FreeImage incorrectly handled certain memory operations. If a user were tricked     into opening a crafted TIFF file, a remote attacker could use this issue to cause a heap buffer overflow,     resulting in a denial of service attack. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.
