critical Nessus Plugin ID 93399

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3075-1 advisory.

 Jakub Wilk discovered an out of bounds read in the GIF loader implementation in Imlib2. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly obtain sensitive information.
 (CVE-2016-3994)

 Yuriy M. Kaminskiy discovered an off-by-one error when handling coordinates in Imlib2. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (application crash). (CVE-2016-3993)

 Yuriy M. Kaminskiy discovered that integer overflows existed in Imlib2 when handling images with large dimensions. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (memory exhaustion or application crash). (CVE-2014-9771, CVE-2016-4024)

 Kevin Ryde discovered that the ellipse drawing code in Imlib2 would attempt to divide by zero when drawing a 2x1 ellipse. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (application crash).
 (CVE-2011-5326)

 It was discovered that Imlib2 did not properly handled GIF images without colormaps. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (application crash). This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-9762)

 It was discovered that Imlib2 did not properly handle some PNM images, leading to a division by zero. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (application crash). This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-9763)

 It was discovered that Imlib2 did not properly handle error conditions when loading some GIF images. An attacker could use this to cause a denial of service (application crash). This issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2014-9764)

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 libimlib2 and / or libimlib2-dev packages.
