Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS : OpenCV vulnerabilities (USN-7247-1)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 214909

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7247-1 advisory.

 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 possibly use this issue to make OpenCV crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2019-14493)

 It was discovered that OpenCV may perform out-of-bounds reads in certain situations. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenCV to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or the execution of arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. (CVE-2019-16249, CVE-2019-19624)

 It was discovered that the QR code module of OpenCV incorrectly processed certain maliciously crafted QR codes. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenCV to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 22.04 LTS. (CVE-2023-2617, CVE-2023-2618)

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.
