Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2020:1577 advisory.

The exiv2 packages provide a command line utility which can display and manipulate image metadata such as EXIF, LPTC, and JPEG comments.

The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: exiv2 (0.27.2). (BZ#1651917)

Security Fix(es):

* exiv2: infinite loop and hang in Jp2Image::readMetadata() in jp2image.cpp could lead to DoS (CVE-2019-20421)

* exiv2: null pointer dereference in the Exiv2::DataValue::toLong function in value.cpp (CVE-2017-18005)

* exiv2: Excessive memory allocation in Exiv2::Jp2Image::readMetadata function in jp2image.cpp (CVE-2018-4868)

* exiv2: assertion failure in BigTiffImage::readData in bigtiffimage.cpp (CVE-2018-9303)

* exiv2: out of bounds read in IptcData::printStructure in iptc.c (CVE-2018-9305)

* exiv2: OOB read in pngimage.cpp:tEXtToDataBuf() allows for crash via crafted file (CVE-2018-10772)

* exiv2: information leak via a crafted file (CVE-2018-11037)

* exiv2: buffer overflow in samples/geotag.cpp (CVE-2018-14338)

* exiv2: heap-based buffer overflow in Exiv2::d2Data in types.cpp (CVE-2018-17229)

* exiv2: heap-based buffer overflow in Exiv2::ul2Data in types.cpp (CVE-2018-17230)

* exiv2: NULL pointer dereference in Exiv2::DataValue::copy in value.cpp leading to application crash (CVE-2018-17282)

* exiv2: Stack overflow in CiffDirectory::readDirectory() at crwimage_int.cpp leading to denial of service (CVE-2018-17581)

* exiv2: infinite loop in Exiv2::Image::printIFDStructure function in image.cpp (CVE-2018-18915)

* exiv2: heap-based buffer over-read in Exiv2::IptcParser::decode in iptc.cpp (CVE-2018-19107)

* exiv2: infinite loop in Exiv2::PsdImage::readMetadata in psdimage.cpp (CVE-2018-19108)

* exiv2: heap-based buffer over-read in PngChunk::readRawProfile in pngchunk_int.cpp (CVE-2018-19535)

* exiv2: NULL pointer dereference in Exiv2::isoSpeed in easyaccess.cpp (CVE-2018-19607)

* exiv2: Segmentation fault in Exiv2::Internal::TiffParserWorker::findPrimaryGroups function (CVE-2018-20097)

* exiv2: Heap-based buffer over-read in Exiv2::Jp2Image::encodeJp2Header resulting in a denial of service (CVE-2018-20098)

* exiv2: Infinite loop in Exiv2::Jp2Image::encodeJp2Header resulting in a denial of service (CVE-2018-20099)

* exiv2: infinite recursion in Exiv2::Image::printTiffStructure in file image.cpp resulting in denial of service (CVE-2019-9143)

* exiv2: denial of service in PngImage::readMetadata (CVE-2019-13109)

* exiv2: integer overflow in WebPImage::decodeChunks leads to denial of service (CVE-2019-13111)

* exiv2: uncontrolled memory allocation in PngChunk::parseChunkContent causing denial of service (CVE-2019-13112)

* exiv2: invalid data location in CRW image file causing denial of service (CVE-2019-13113)

* exiv2: null-pointer dereference in http.c causing denial of service (CVE-2019-13114)
