An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in the XPM image rendering functionality of SDL2_image 2.0.4. A specially crafted XPM image can cause an integer overflow, allocating too small of a buffer. This buffer can then be written out of bounds resulting in a heap overflow, ultimately ending in code execution. An attacker can display a specially crafted image to trigger this vulnerability.

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

  - An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in the XPM image rendering functionality of SDL2_image     2.0.4. A specially crafted XPM image can cause an integer overflow, allocating too small of a buffer. This     buffer can then be written out of bounds resulting in a heap overflow, ultimately ending in code     execution. An attacker can display a specially crafted image to trigger this vulnerability.
    (CVE-2019-5059)

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

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in the XPM image rendering function of SDL2_image
    2.0.4. A specially crafted XPM image can cause an integer overflow in the colorhash function, allocating
    too small of a buffer. This buffer can then be written out of bounds, resulting in a heap overflow,
    ultimately ending in code execution. An attacker can display a specially crafted image to trigger this
    vulnerability. (CVE-2019-5060)

  - An exploitable heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability exists when loading a PCX file in SDL2_image,
    version 2.0.4. A missing error handler can lead to a buffer overflow and potential code execution. An
    attacker can provide a specially crafted image file to trigger this vulnerability. (CVE-2019-5051)

  - An exploitable integer overflow vulnerability exists when loading a PCX file in SDL2_image 2.0.4. A
    specially crafted file can cause an integer overflow, resulting in too little memory being allocated,
    which can lead to a buffer overflow and potential code execution. An attacker can provide a specially
    crafted image file to trigger this vulnerability. (CVE-2019-5052)

  - An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in the PCX image-rendering functionality of SDL2_image
    2.0.4. A specially crafted PCX image can cause a heap overflow, resulting in code execution. An attacker
    can display a specially crafted image to trigger this vulnerability. (CVE-2019-5057)

  - An exploitable code execution vulnerability exists in the XCF image rendering functionality of SDL2_image
    2.0.4. A specially crafted XCF image can cause a heap overflow, resulting in code execution. An attacker
    can display a specially crafted image to trigger this vulnerability. (CVE-2019-5058)
