high Nessus Plugin ID 210284

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 24.10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7083-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that OpenJPEG incorrectly handled certain memory operations when using the command line
 -ImgDir in a directory with a large number of files, leading to an integer overflow vulnerability. An attacker could potentially use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2021-29338)

 It was discovered that OpenJPEG incorrectly handled decompressing certain .j2k files in sycc420_to_rgb, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted file, an attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code.
 (CVE-2021-3575)

 It was discovered that OpenJPEG incorrectly handled certain memory operations in the opj2_decompress program. An attacker could potentially use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2022-1122)

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
