Ubuntu 16.04 LTS : icoutils vulnerabilities (USN-4695-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 145046

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4695-1 advisory.

 - Integer overflow in the wrestool program in icoutils before 0.31.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted executable, which triggers a denial of service (application crash) or the possibility of execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-5208)

 - Integer overflow in the check_offset function in b/wrestool/fileread.c in icoutils before 0.31.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (process crash) and execute arbitrary code via a crafted executable. (CVE-2017-5331)

 - The extract_group_icon_cursor_resource in wrestool/extract.c in icoutils before 0.31.1 can access unallocated memory, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (process crash) and execute arbitrary code via a crafted executable. (CVE-2017-5332)

 - Integer overflow in the extract_group_icon_cursor_resource function in b/wrestool/extract.c in icoutils before 0.31.1 allows local users to cause a denial of service (process crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted executable file. (CVE-2017-5333)

 - An issue was discovered in icoutils 0.31.1. A buffer overflow was observed in the decode_ne_resource_id function in the restable.c source file. This is happening because the len parameter for memcpy is not checked for size and thus becomes a negative integer in the process, resulting in a failed memcpy. This affects wrestool. (CVE-2017-6009)

 - An issue was discovered in icoutils 0.31.1. A buffer overflow was observed in the extract_icons function in the extract.c source file. This issue can be triggered by processing a corrupted ico file and will result in an icotool crash. (CVE-2017-6010)

 - An issue was discovered in icoutils 0.31.1. An out-of-bounds read leading to a buffer overflow was observed in the simple_vec function in the extract.c source file. This affects icotool.
 (CVE-2017-6011)

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

Solution

Update the affected icoutils package.
