medium Nessus Plugin ID 131580

Language:

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

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

 - The pm_mallocarray2 function in lib/util/mallocvar.c in Netpbm through 10.81.03 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read) via a crafted image file, as demonstrated by pbmmask.(CVE-2018-8975)

 - tiffttopnm in netpbm 10.47.63 does not properly use the libtiff TIFFRGBAImageGet function, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and write) via a crafted tiff image file, related to transposing width and height values.(CVE-2017-5849)

 - A null pointer dereference vulnerability was found in netpbm before 10.61. A maliciously crafted SVG file could cause the application to crash.(CVE-2017-2586)

 - A memory allocation vulnerability was found in netpbm before 10.61. A maliciously crafted SVG file could cause the application to crash.(CVE-2017-2587)

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.

Solution

Update the affected netpbm packages.
