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 multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2254 advisory.

2023-10-30: CVE-2020-17541 was added to this advisory.

Libjpeg-turbo all version have a stack-based buffer overflow in the transform component. A remote attacker can send a malformed jpeg file to the service and cause arbitrary code execution or denial of service of the target service. (CVE-2020-17541)

libjpeg-turbo version 2.0.90 has a heap-based buffer over-read (2 bytes) in decompress_smooth_data in jdcoefct.c. (CVE-2021-29390)

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 libjpeg-turbo' to update your system.
