Amazon Linux 2 : openjpeg2 (ALAS-2022-1894)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 168450

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of openjpeg2 installed on the remote host is prior to 2.4.0-5. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2022-1894 advisory.

 - A flaw was found in the opj2_decompress program in openjpeg2 2.4.0 in the way it handles an input directory with a large number of files. When it fails to allocate a buffer to store the filenames of the input directory, it calls free() on an uninitialized pointer, leading to a segmentation fault and a denial of service. (CVE-2022-1122)

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 openjpeg2' to update your system.
