Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of openjpeg2 installed on the remote host is prior to 2.4.0-5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2025-2773 advisory.

 openjpeg: heap buffer overflow in bin/common/color.c (CVE-2024-56826)

 openjpeg: heap buffer overflow in lib/openjp2/j2k.c (CVE-2024-56827)
