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)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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.
