An issue was discovered in stb stb_image.h 1.33 through 2.27. The HDR loader parsed truncated end-of-file RLE scanlines as an infinite sequence of zero-length runs. An attacker could potentially have caused denial of service in applications using stb_image by submitting crafted HDR files.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202409-15 (stb: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in stb. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below     for details.

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

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

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3305 advisory.

  - stb stb_image.h 2.19, as used in catimg, Emscripten, and other products, has a heap-based buffer overflow     in the stbi__out_gif_code function. (CVE-2018-16981)

  - A heap buffer overflow in the start_decoder function in stb_vorbis through 2019-03-04 allows an attacker     to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code by opening a crafted Ogg Vorbis file.
    (CVE-2019-13217)

  - Division by zero in the predict_point function in stb_vorbis through 2019-03-04 allows an attacker to     cause a denial of service by opening a crafted Ogg Vorbis file. (CVE-2019-13218)

  - A NULL pointer dereference in the get_window function in stb_vorbis through 2019-03-04 allows an attacker     to cause a denial of service by opening a crafted Ogg Vorbis file. (CVE-2019-13219)

  - Use of uninitialized stack variables in the start_decoder function in stb_vorbis through 2019-03-04 allows     an attacker to cause a denial of service or disclose sensitive information by opening a crafted Ogg Vorbis     file. (CVE-2019-13220)

  - A stack buffer overflow in the compute_codewords function in stb_vorbis through 2019-03-04 allows an     attacker to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code by opening a crafted Ogg Vorbis file.
    (CVE-2019-13221)

  - An out-of-bounds read of a global buffer in the draw_line function in stb_vorbis through 2019-03-04 allows     an attacker to cause a denial of service or disclose sensitive information by opening a crafted Ogg Vorbis     file. (CVE-2019-13222)

  - A reachable assertion in the lookup1_values function in stb_vorbis through 2019-03-04 allows an attacker     to cause a denial of service by opening a crafted Ogg Vorbis file. (CVE-2019-13223)

  - Buffer overflow vulnerability in function stbi__extend_receive in stb_image.h in stb 2.26 via a crafted     JPEG file. (CVE-2021-28021)

  - stb_image.h 2.27 has a heap-based buffer over in stbi__jpeg_load, leading to Information Disclosure or     Denial of Service. (CVE-2021-37789)

  - An issue was discovered in stb stb_image.h 1.33 through 2.27. The HDR loader parsed truncated end-of-file     RLE scanlines as an infinite sequence of zero-length runs. An attacker could potentially have caused     denial of service in applications using stb_image by submitting crafted HDR files. (CVE-2021-42715)

  - stb_image.h v2.27 was discovered to contain an integer overflow via the function     stbi__jpeg_decode_block_prog_dc. This vulnerability allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS)     via unspecified vectors. (CVE-2022-28041)

  - stb_image.h v2.27 was discovered to contain an heap-based use-after-free via the function     stbi__jpeg_huff_decode. (CVE-2022-28042)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLES15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:0157-1 advisory.

  - Buffer overflow vulnerability in function stbi__extend_receive in stb_image.h in stb 2.26 via a crafted     JPEG file. (CVE-2021-28021)

  - An issue was discovered in stb stb_image.h 1.33 through 2.27. The HDR loader parsed truncated end-of-file     RLE scanlines as an infinite sequence of zero-length runs. An attacker could potentially have caused     denial of service in applications using stb_image by submitting crafted HDR files. (CVE-2021-42715)

  - An issue was discovered in stb stb_image.h 2.27. The PNM loader incorrectly interpreted 16-bit PGM files     as 8-bit when converting to RGBA, leading to a buffer overflow when later reinterpreting the result as a     16-bit buffer. An attacker could potentially have crashed a service using stb_image, or read up to 1024     bytes of non-consecutive heap data without control over the read location. (CVE-2021-42716)
