The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Xfig fig2dev 3.2.7a has a stack-based buffer overflow in the calc_arrow function in bound.c.
    (CVE-2019-14275)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLES15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2021:2454-1 advisory.

  - Xfig fig2dev 3.2.7a has a stack-based buffer overflow in the calc_arrow function in bound.c.
    (CVE-2019-14275)

  - read_textobject in read.c in Xfig fig2dev 3.2.7b has a stack-based buffer overflow because of an incorrect     sscanf. (CVE-2019-19555)

  - make_arrow in arrow.c in Xfig fig2dev 3.2.7b allows a segmentation fault and out-of-bounds write because     of an integer overflow via a large arrow type. (CVE-2019-19746)

  - read_colordef in read.c in Xfig fig2dev 3.2.7b has an out-of-bounds write. (CVE-2019-19797)

  - An Out of Bounds flaw was found fig2dev version 3.2.8a. A flawed bounds check in read_objects() could     allow an attacker to provide a crafted malicious input causing the application to either crash or in some     cases cause memory corruption. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to integrity as well as     system availability. (CVE-2021-3561)

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

This update for transfig fixes the following issues :

Security issue fixed :

CVE-2019-14275: Fixed stack-based buffer overflow in the calc_arrow function (bsc#1143650).

CVE-2018-16140: Fixed a buffer underwrite vulnerability in get_line() in read.c, which allowed an attacker to write prior to the beginning of the buffer via specially crafted .fig file (bsc#1106531)

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

Security issue fixed :

  - CVE-2019-14275: Fixed stack-based buffer overflow in the     calc_arrow function (bsc#1143650).

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15:Update update project.

Several issues have been found in transfig, a XFig figure files converter.

CVE-2018-16140

Buffer underwrite vulnerability in get_line() allows an attacker to write prior to the beginning of the buffer via a crafted .fig file.

CVE-2019-14275

Stack-based buffer overflow in the calc_arrow function in bound.c.

CVE-2019-19555

Stack-based buffer overflow because of an incorrect sscanf.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1:3.2.5.e-4+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your transfig packages.
