Amazon Linux 2 : openjpeg2 (ALAS-2022-1894)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 168450

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of openjpeg2 installed on the remote host is prior to 2.4.0-5. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2022-1894 advisory.

 A flaw was found in the opj2_decompress program in openjpeg2 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)

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

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

Solution

Run 'yum update openjpeg2' to update your system.
