A size-validation issue was discovered in opj_j2k_write_sot in lib/openjp2/j2k.c in OpenJPEG 2.2.0. The vulnerability causes an out-of-bounds write, which may lead to remote denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow affecting opj_write_bytes_LE in lib/openjp2/cio.c) or possibly remote code execution. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-14152.

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

  - A size-validation issue was discovered in opj_j2k_write_sot in lib/openjp2/j2k.c in OpenJPEG 2.2.0. The     vulnerability causes an out-of-bounds write, which may lead to remote denial of service (heap-based buffer     overflow affecting opj_write_bytes_LE in lib/openjp2/cio.c) or possibly remote code execution. NOTE: this     vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-14152. (CVE-2017-14164)

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

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201710-26 (OpenJPEG: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenJPEG. Please review       the references below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker, via a crafted BMP, PDF, or j2k document, could       execute arbitrary code, cause a Denial of Service condition, or have       other unspecified impacts.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

This update for openjpeg2 fixes several issues.

These security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2016-10507: Integer overflow vulnerability in the     bmp24toimage function allowed remote attackers to cause     a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and     application crash) via a crafted bmp file (bsc#1056421).

  - CVE-2017-14039: A heap-based buffer overflow was     discovered in the opj_t2_encode_packet function. The     vulnerability caused an out-of-bounds write, which may     have lead to remote denial of service or possibly     unspecified other impact (bsc#1056622).

  - CVE-2017-14164: A size-validation issue was discovered     in opj_j2k_write_sot. The vulnerability caused an     out-of-bounds write, which may have lead to remote DoS     or possibly remote code execution (bsc#1057511).

  - CVE-2017-14040: An invalid write access was discovered     in bin/jp2/convert.c, triggering a crash in the     tgatoimage function. The vulnerability may have lead to     remote denial of service or possibly unspecified other     impact (bsc#1056621).

  - CVE-2017-14041: A stack-based buffer overflow was     discovered in the pgxtoimage function. The vulnerability     caused an out-of-bounds write, which may have lead to     remote denial of service or possibly remote code     execution (bsc#1056562).

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12-SP2:Update update project.

New openjpeg packages are available for Slackware 14.2 and -current to fix security issues.
