There exists an out of bounds read/write in LibJXL versions prior to commit 9cc451b91b74ba470fd72bd48c121e9f33d24c99. The JPEG decoder used by the JPEG XL encoder when doing JPEG recompression (i.e. if using JxlEncoderAddJPEGFrame on untrusted input) does not properly check bounds in the presence of incomplete codes. This could lead to an out-of-bounds write. In jpegli which is released as part of the same project, the same vulnerability is present. However, the relevant buffer is part of a bigger structure, and the code makes no assumptions on the values that could be overwritten. The issue could however cause jpegli to read uninitialised memory, or addresses of functions.

The remote Ubuntu 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7637-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that libjxl did not perform proper bounds checking when parsing Exif tags. An attacker     could possibly use this issue to cause libjxl to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2023-0645)

    It was discovered that libjxl did not perform proper bounds checking

    when decoding patches. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libjxl to enter an infinite     loop, resulting in a denial of

    service. (CVE-2023-35790)

    It was discovered that libjxl did not perform proper bounds checking when performing JPEG recompression.
    An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libjxl to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or     possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-11403)

    It was discovered that libjxl incorrectly handled parsing certain image files. An attacker could possibly     use this issue to cause libjxl to

    consume excessive amounts of memory, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2024-11498)

    Package        : jpeg-xl     CVE ID         : CVE-2023-0645 CVE-2023-35790 CVE-2024-11403 CVE-2024-11498     Debian Bug     : 1034722 1055306 1088818

    Multiple vulnerabilities are discovered in jpeg-xl, the JPEG XL (JXL)     image coding library, including out of bounds read/write and stack based     buffer overflow, which may cause excessive memory usage and denial of     service attacks.

    CVE-2023-0645

        Specifically crafted file could cause an out of bounds read in the exif         handler of libjxl.

    CVE-2023-35790

        Integer underflow in patch decoding code of libjxl.

    CVE-2024-11403

        Out of bounds write in the JPEG decoder used for recompression of JPEG         files.

    CVE-2024-11498

        Specifically crafted file could cause the JPEG XL decoder to use large         amounts of stack space, potentially exhausting the stack.

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in     version 0.7.0-10+deb12u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your jpeg-xl packages.
