Amazon Linux 2 : jasper (ALAS-2023-2018)

high Nessus Plugin ID 174570

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of jasper installed on the remote host is prior to 1.900.1-33. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2018 advisory.

A flaw was found in the Jasper tool's jpc encoder. This flaw allows an attacker to craft input provided to Jasper, causing an arbitrary out-of-bounds write. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-27828)

A flaw was found in jasper before 2.0.25. An out of bounds read issue was found in jp2_decode function whic may lead to disclosure of information or program crash. (CVE-2021-26926)

A flaw was found in jasper before 2.0.25. A null pointer dereference in jp2_decode in jp2_dec.c may lead to program crash and denial of service. (CVE-2021-26927)

jp2_decode in jp2/jp2_dec.c in libjasper in JasPer 2.0.24 has a heap-based buffer over-read when there is an invalid relationship between the number of channels and the number of image components. (CVE-2021-3272)

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way Jasper versions before 2.0.27 handled component references in the JP2 image format decoder. A specially crafted JP2 image file could cause an application using the Jasper library to crash when opened. (CVE-2021-3443)

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the way Jasper versions before 2.0.26 handled component references in CDEF box in the JP2 image format decoder. A specially crafted JP2 image file could cause an application using the Jasper library to crash when opened. (CVE-2021-3467)

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.

Solution

Run 'yum update jasper' to update your system.
