Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5838-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that AdvanceCOMP did not properly manage memory while performing read operations on MNG file. If a user were tricked into opening a specially crafted MNG file, a remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause AdvanceCOMP to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2022-35014, CVE-2022-35017, CVE-2022-35018, CVE-2022-35019, CVE-2022-35020)
