Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Buffer overflow in the png_set_PLTE function in libpng before 1.0.65, 1.1.x and 1.2.x before 1.2.55, 1.3.x, 1.4.x before 1.4.18, 1.5.x before 1.5.25, and 1.6.x before 1.6.20 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a small bit-depth value in an IHDR (aka image header) chunk in a PNG image. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2015-8126. (CVE-2015-8472)

Impact

This vulnerability may allow unauthorized disclosure of information, unauthorized modification, or disruption of service.

Important : A low severity rating applies when the attack is considered to be local only. A medium security rating applies when the BIG-IP APM module is enabled and configured with a Citrix VDI back end.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2015:2594 advisory.

  - libpng: Out-of-bounds read in png_convert_to_rfc1123 (CVE-2015-7981)

  - libpng: Buffer overflow vulnerabilities in png_get_PLTE/png_set_PLTE functions (CVE-2015-8126,     CVE-2015-8472)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote host is running VLC 2.x prior to 2.0.2 and is affected by multiple vulnerabilities :

 - An invalid pointer dereference flaw exists in the 3GP file format parser. With a specially crafted 3GP file, a context-dependent attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code.
 - The libpng library used by VLC contains an out-of-bounds read flaw in the 'png_convert_to_rfc1123()' function in 'png.c' that may allow a context-dependent attacker to crash an application linked against the library or disclose memory contents.
 - The libEBML library used by VLC contains a use-after-free error in the 'EblMaster::Read()' function in 'EbmlMaster.cpp' that is triggered when handling deeply nested elements with an infinite size. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
 - The libEBML library used by VLC contains an out-of-bounds read condition in the 'UTFstring::UpdateFromUTF8()' function in 'EbmlUnicodeString.cpp' that is triggered when reading UTF-8 strings. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to crash an application linked against the library or potentially disclose memory contents.
 - The libpng library contains overflow conditions in the 'png_set_PLTE()' function in 'pngset.c' and 'png_get_PLTE()' function in 'pngget.c' that are triggered when handling bit depths less than 8. With a specially crafted PNG image, a context-dependent attacker can cause a buffer overflow, crashing an application linked against the library or potentially execute arbtirary code.
 - A flaw exists that allows a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the web interface does not validate files' title metadata before returning it to users. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
 - A flaw exists that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when handling a specially crafted MP4 file. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to corrupt memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
 - An unspecified double-free flaw exists in the ADPCM decoder, which may allow an attacker to have an unspecified impact.
 - Multiple unspecified double-frees, integer overflows, infinite loops, read overflows, invalid frees, and division-by-zero flaws exist. No further details have been provided by the vendor.
 - A flaw exists that allows a cross-site scripting (XSS) attack. This flaw exists because the HTTP interface does not validate input before returning it to users. This may allow a remote attacker to create a specially crafted request that would execute arbitrary script code in a user's browser session within the trust relationship between their browser and the server.
 - An off-by-one overflow condition exists in the RealRtsp module. The issue is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to cause a buffer overflow, resulting in an unspecified impact.
