Debian DLA-1579-1 : openjpeg2 security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 119052

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in openjpeg2, the open-source JPEG 2000 codec.

CVE-2017-17480

Write stack-based buffer overflow due to missing buffer length formatter in fscanf call (jp3d and jpwl codecs). This vulnerability might be leveraged by remote attackers using crafted jp3d and jpwl files to cause denial of service or possibly remote code execution.

CVE-2018-18088

NULL pointer dereference caused by null image components in imagetopnm. This vulnerability might be leveraged by remote attackers using crafted BMP files to cause denial of service.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 2.1.0-2+deb8u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your openjpeg2 packages.

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

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
