read_header_tga in gd_tga.c in the GD Graphics Library (aka LibGD) through 2.3.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted TGA file.

An update of the libgd package has been released.

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3781 advisory.

  - gdImageClone in gd.c in libgd 2.1.0-rc2 through 2.2.5 has a NULL pointer dereference allowing attackers to     crash an application via a specific function call sequence. Only affects PHP when linked with an external     libgd (not bundled). (CVE-2018-14553)

  - read_header_tga in gd_tga.c in the GD Graphics Library (aka LibGD) through 2.3.2 allows remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted TGA file. (CVE-2021-38115)

  - The GD Graphics Library (aka LibGD) through 2.3.2 has an out-of-bounds read because of the lack of certain     gdGetBuf and gdPutBuf return value checks. (CVE-2021-40812)

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

According to the versions of the gd package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - read_header_tga in gd_tga.c in the GD Graphics Library (aka LibGD) through 2.3.2 allows remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted TGA file. (CVE-2021-38115)

  - ** DISPUTED ** gdImageGd2Ptr in gd_gd2.c in the GD Graphics Library (aka LibGD) through 2.3.2 has a double     free. NOTE: the vendor's position is 'The GD2 image format is a proprietary image format of libgd. It has     to be regarded as being obsolete, and should only be used for development and testing purposes.'     (CVE-2021-40145)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
