Several vulnerabilities were discovered in advancecomp, a collection of recompression utilities.

CVE-2018-1056

Joonun Jang discovered that the advzip tool was prone to a heap-based buffer overflow. This might allow an attacker to cause a denial of service (application crash) or other unspecified impact via a crafted file.

CVE-2019-9210

The png_compress function in pngex.cc in advpng has an integer overflow upon encountering an invalid PNG size, which results in another heap based buffer overflow.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1.19-1+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your advancecomp packages.

The remote Debian 9 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2868 advisory.

  - An out-of-bounds heap buffer read flaw was found in the way advancecomp before 2.1-2018/02 handled     processing of ZIP files. An attacker could potentially use this flaw to crash the advzip utility by     tricking it into processing crafted ZIP files. (CVE-2018-1056)

  - An issue was discovered in AdvanceCOMP through 2.1. A NULL pointer dereference exists in the function     be_uint32_read() located in endianrw.h. It can be triggered by sending a crafted file to a binary. It     allows an attacker to cause a Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other     impact when a victim opens a specially crafted file. (CVE-2019-8379)

  - An issue was discovered in AdvanceCOMP through 2.1. An invalid memory address occurs in the function     adv_png_unfilter_8 in lib/png.c. It can be triggered by sending a crafted file to a binary. It allows an     attacker to cause a Denial of Service (Segmentation fault) or possibly have unspecified other impact when     a victim opens a specially crafted file. (CVE-2019-8383)

  - In AdvanceCOMP 2.1, png_compress in pngex.cc in advpng has an integer overflow upon encountering an     invalid PNG size, which results in an attempted memcpy to write into a buffer that is too small. (There is     also a heap-based buffer over-read.) (CVE-2019-9210)

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

The remote Oracle Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ELSA-2020-1037 advisory.

    - Resolves: #1711051, CVE-2019-8383 denial of service
    - Resolves: #1710910, CVE-2019-8379 null pointer dereference

The remote CentOS Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the RHSA-2020:1037 advisory.

  - In AdvanceCOMP 2.1, png_compress in pngex.cc in advpng has an integer overflow upon encountering an     invalid PNG size, which results in an attempted memcpy to write into a buffer that is too small. (There is     also a heap-based buffer over-read.) (CVE-2019-9210)
