Off-by-one error in the READ_ENCINT macro in chmd.c in libmspack before 0.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted CHM file.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7788-1 advisory.

    Jakub Wilk discovered that libmspack did not correctly handle certain integer operations and bounds     checking. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2015-4467,     CVE-2015-4468, CVE-2015-4469, CVE-2015-4472)

    It was discovered that libmspack incorrectly handled certain malformed CAB files. A remote attacker could     use this issue to cause libmspack to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2017-11423)

    It was discovered that libmspack incorrectly handled certain malformed CHM files. A remote attacker could     use this issue to cause libmspack to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute     arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-6419)

    Hanno Bck discovered that libmspack incorrectly handled certain CHM files. An attacker could possibly     use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-14679, CVE-2018-14680)

    Jakub Wilk discovered that libmspack incorrectly handled certain KWAJ files. An attacker could possibly     use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-14681)

    Dmitry Glavatskikh discovered that libmspack incorrectly handled certain CHM files. An attacker could     possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-14682)

    It was discovered libmspack incorrectly handled certain malformed CAB files. A remote attacker could use     this issue to cause libmspack to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2018-18585)

    It was discovered that libmspack incorrectly handled certain CHM files. A remote attacker could possibly     use this issue to access sensitive information. (CVE-2019-1010305)

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

libmspack was updated to fix security issues.

These security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2014-9732: The cabd_extract function in cabd.c in     libmspack did not properly maintain decompression     callbacks in certain cases where an invalid file follows     a valid file, which allowed remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and     application crash) via a crafted CAB archive     (bnc#934524).

  - CVE-2015-4467: The chmd_init_decomp function in chmd.c     in libmspack did not properly validate the reset     interval, which allowed remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application     crash) via a crafted CHM file (bnc#934525).

  - CVE-2015-4468: Multiple integer overflows in the     search_chunk function in chmd.c in libmspack allowed     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer     over-read and application crash) via a crafted CHM file     (bnc#934526).

  - CVE-2015-4469: The chmd_read_headers function in chmd.c     in libmspack did not validate name lengths, which     allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted     CHM file (bnc#934526).

  - CVE-2015-4470: Off-by-one error in the inflate function     in mszipd.c in libmspack allowed remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and     application crash) via a crafted CAB archive     (bnc#934527).

  - CVE-2015-4471: Off-by-one error in the lzxd_decompress     function in lzxd.c in libmspack allowed remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (buffer under-read and     application crash) via a crafted CAB archive     (bnc#934528).

  - CVE-2015-4472: Off-by-one error in the READ_ENCINT macro     in chmd.c in libmspack allowed remote attackers to cause     a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have     unspecified other impact via a crafted CHM file     (bnc#934529).
