Amazon Linux 2 : evince (ALAS-2020-1474)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 139853

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2 host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of evince installed on the remote host is prior to 3.28.2-9. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2020-1474 advisory.

 The tiff_document_render() and tiff_document_get_thumbnail() functions in the TIFF document backend in GNOME Evince through 3.32.0 did not handle errors from TIFFReadRGBAImageOriented(), leading to uninitialized memory use when processing certain TIFF image files. (CVE-2019-11459)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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

Solution

Run 'yum update evince' to update your system.
