Amazon Linux 2 : transfig (ALAS-2020-1398)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 134118

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of transfig installed on the remote host is prior to 3.2.7b-2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2020-1398 advisory.

 read_colordef in read.c in Xfig fig2dev 3.2.7b has an out-of-bounds write. (CVE-2019-19797)

 make_arrow in arrow.c in Xfig fig2dev 3.2.7b allows a segmentation fault and out-of-bounds write because of an integer overflow via a large arrow type. (CVE-2019-19746)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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

Solution

Run 'yum update transfig' to update your system.
