Amazon Linux 2 : libjpeg-turbo (ALAS-2023-2214)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 180084

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of libjpeg-turbo installed on the remote host is prior to 2.0.90-2. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2214 advisory.

 - The PPM reader in libjpeg-turbo through 2.0.90 mishandles use of tjLoadImage for loading a 16-bit binary PPM file into a grayscale buffer and loading a 16-bit binary PGM file into an RGB buffer. This is related to a heap-based buffer overflow in the get_word_rgb_row function in rdppm.c. (CVE-2021-46822)

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

Solution

Run 'yum update libjpeg-turbo' to update your system.
