Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM : OpenCV vulnerabilities (USN-4818-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 183130

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4818-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that OpenCV did not properly manage certain objects, leading to a divide-by-zero. If a user were tricked into loading a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could potentially use this issue to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2019-15939)

 It was discovered that OpenCV did not properly manage certain files, leading to an out of bounds read. If a user were tricked into loading a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could potentially use this issue to make OpenCV crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue was only fixed in Ubuntu 18.04 ESM. (CVE-2019-14491, CVE-2019-14492)

 It was discovered that OpenCV did not properly manage certain XML data, leading to a NULL pointer dereference. If a user were tricked into loading a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could potentially use this issue to make OpenCV crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue was only fixed in Ubuntu 14.04 ESM and Ubuntu 16.04 ESM. (CVE-2019-14493)

 It was discovered that OpenCV did not properly manage certain files, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow. If a user were tricked into loading a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could potentially use this issue to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 ESM. (CVE-2017-18009)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu 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

Update the affected packages.
