Synopsis

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

Description

The version of openjpeg installed on the remote host is prior to 1.5.1-19. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-1999 advisory.

- A heap-based buffer overflow was found in openjpeg in color.c:379:42 in sycc420_to_rgb when decompressing a crafted .j2k file. An attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the application compiled against openjpeg. (CVE-2021-3575)
