Amazon Linux AMI : jasper (ALAS-2023-1733)

high Nessus Plugin ID 174621

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of jasper installed on the remote host is prior to 1.900.1-21.12. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1733 advisory.

- There's a flaw in jasper's jpc encoder in versions prior to 2.0.23. Crafted input provided to jasper by an attacker could cause an arbitrary out-of-bounds write. This could potentially affect data confidentiality, integrity, or application 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)

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