high Nessus Plugin ID 171047
Language:
Synopsis
The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.Description
It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-1929 advisory.Heap-based buffer overflow in the pstoedit_suffix_table_init function in output-pstoedit.c in AutoTrace 0.31.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) via a crafted bmp image file. (CVE-2016-7392)
A biWidth*biBitCnt integer overflow in input-bmp.c in autotrace 0.31.1 allows attackers to provide an unexpected input value to malloc via a malformed bitmap image. (CVE-2019-19004)
A bitmap double free in main.c in autotrace 0.31.1 allows attackers to cause an unspecified impact via a malformed bitmap image. This may occur after the use-after-free in CVE-2017-9182. (CVE-2019-19005)
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
