Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS : libjpeg-turbo vulnerabilities (USN-5631-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 165321

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5631-1 advisory.

 - libjpeg 9c has a large loop because read_pixel in rdtarga.c mishandles EOF. (CVE-2018-11813)

 - Libjpeg-turbo all version have a stack-based buffer overflow in the transform component. A remote attacker can send a malformed jpeg file to the service and cause arbitrary code execution or denial of service of the target service. (CVE-2020-17541)

 - A crafted input file could cause a null pointer dereference in jcopy_sample_rows() when processed by libjpeg-turbo. (CVE-2020-35538)

 - The PPM reader in libjpeg-turbo through 2.0.90 mishandles use of tjLoadImage for loading a 16-bit binary PPM file into a grayscale buffer and loading a 16-bit binary PGM file into an RGB buffer. This is related to a heap-based buffer overflow in the get_word_rgb_row function in rdppm.c. (CVE-2021-46822)

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
