Azure Linux 3.0 Security Update: gdk-pixbuf2 (CVE-2022-48622)

high Nessus Plugin ID 215273

Synopsis

The remote Azure Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of gdk-pixbuf2 installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2022-48622 advisory.

 - In GNOME GdkPixbuf (aka gdk-pixbuf) through 2.42.10, the ANI (Windows animated cursor) decoder encounters heap memory corruption (in ani_load_chunk in io-ani.c) when parsing chunks in a crafted .ani file. A crafted file could allow an attacker to overwrite heap metadata, leading to a denial of service or code execution attack. This occurs in gdk_pixbuf_set_option() in gdk-pixbuf.c. (CVE-2022-48622)

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 affected packages.
