high Nessus Plugin ID 154751

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2803 advisory.

- An exploitable integer overflow vulnerability exists when creating a new RGB Surface in SDL 2.0.5. A specially crafted file can cause an integer overflow resulting in too little memory being allocated which can lead to a buffer overflow and potential code execution. An attacker can provide a specially crafted image file to trigger this vulnerability. (CVE-2017-2888)

- SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) through 1.2.15 and 2.x through 2.0.9 has a heap-based buffer overflow in SDL_FillRect in video/SDL_surface.c. (CVE-2019-7637)

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

Solution

Upgrade the libsdl2 packages.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 2.0.5+dfsg1-2+deb9u2.
