Description

- openjpeg: Heap-based buffer overflow in function t2_encode_packet in src/lib/openmj2/t2.c (CVE-2018-16376)

- Out-of-bounds accesses in the functions pi_next_lrcp, pi_next_rlcp, pi_next_rpcl, pi_next_pcrl, pi_next_rpcl, and pi_next_cprl in openmj2/pi.c in OpenJPEG through 2.3.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash). (CVE-2018-20846)

- An issue was discovered in OpenJPEG 2.3.0. It allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (attempted excessive memory allocation) in opj_calloc in openjp2/opj_malloc.c, when called from opj_tcd_init_tile in openjp2/tcd.c, as demonstrated by the 64-bit opj_decompress. (CVE-2019-6988)

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