high Nessus Plugin ID 199878

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat 8 host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities that will not be patched.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

 - gegl: write access violation gegl_buffer_iterate_read_simple function in buffer/gegl-buffer-access.c (CVE-2018-10114)

 - An issue was discovered in GEGL through 0.3.32. The render_rectangle function in process/gegl-processor.c has unbounded memory allocation, leading to a denial of service (application crash) upon allocation failure. (CVE-2018-10111)

 - An issue was discovered in GEGL through 0.3.32. The gegl_tile_backend_swap_constructed function in buffer/gegl-tile-backend-swap.c allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (write access violation) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a malformed PNG file that is mishandled during a call to the babl_format_get_bytes_per_pixel function in babl-format.c in babl 0.1.46. (CVE-2018-10112)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.
