GLSA-202209-04 : OpenJPEG: Multiple Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 164806

Language:

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202209-04 (OpenJPEG: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

 - Integer Overflow in OpenJPEG v2.4.0 allows remote attackers to crash the application, causing a Denial of Service (DoS). This occurs when the attacker uses the command line option -ImgDir on a directory that contains 1048576 files. (CVE-2021-29338)

 - A flaw was found in the opj2_decompress program in openjpeg2 2.4.0 in the way it handles an input directory with a large number of files. When it fails to allocate a buffer to store the filenames of the input directory, it calls free() on an uninitialized pointer, leading to a segmentation fault and a denial of service. (CVE-2022-1122)

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

Solution

All OpenJPEG 2 users should upgrade to the latest version:

 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose >=media-libs/openjpeg-2.5.0
