Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the exiv2 packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - Exiv2::Internal::PngChunk::parseTXTChunk in Exiv2 v0.26 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read) via a crafted image file, a different vulnerability than CVE-2018-10999.(CVE-2018-16336)

 - In Exiv2 0.26 and previous versions, PngChunk::readRawProfile in pngchunk_int.cpp may cause a denial of service (application crash due to a heap-based buffer over-read) via a crafted PNG file.(CVE-2018-19535)

 - A PngChunk::parseChunkContent uncontrolled memory allocation in Exiv2 through 0.27.1 allows an attacker to cause a denial of service (crash due to an std::bad_alloc exception) via a crafted PNG image file.(CVE-2019-13112)

 - Exiv2 0.26 has a Null Pointer Dereference in the Exiv2::DataValue::toLong function in value.cpp, related to crafted metadata in a TIFF file.(CVE-2017-18005)

 - There is a heap-based buffer overflow in the Exiv2::us2Data function of types.cpp in Exiv2 0.26. A Crafted input will lead to a denial of service attack.(CVE-2017-14865)

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.
