medium Nessus Plugin ID 191188

Synopsis

The remote CentOS host is missing a security update for libjpeg-turbo.

Description

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the libjpeg- turbo-2.0.90-6.el9 build changelog.

 - 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

Update the CentOS 9 Stream libjpeg-turbo package.
