Denial of Service was found in Horde_Image 2.x before 2.5.0 via a crafted URL to the "Null" image driver.

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

  - Denial of Service was found in Horde_Image 2.x before 2.5.0 via a crafted URL to the Null image driver.
    (CVE-2017-9773)

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

Fariskhi Vidyan and Thomas Jarosch discovered several vulnerabilities in php-horde-image, the image processing library for the Horde groupware suite. They would allow an attacker to cause a denial-of-service or execute arbitrary code.

**Horde_Image 2.5.1**

  - [mjr] SECURITY: Fix more potential places for command     injections.

----

**Horde_Image 2.5.0**

  - [mjr] **SECURITY**: Prevent DOS attack by preventing an     infinite loop in certain conditions (CVE-2017-9773,     reported by Fariskhi Vidyan).

  - [mjr] **SECURITY**: Prevent RCE attacks by properly     sanitizing shell arguments (CVE-2017-9774, reported by     Fariskhi Vidyan).

Michael J Rubinsky reports :

The second vulnerability (CVE-2017-9773) is a DOS vulnerability. This only affects Horde installations that do not have a configured image handling backend, and thus use the 'Null' image driver. It is exploitable by a logged in user clicking on a maliciously crafted URL.
