high Nessus Plugin ID 171392

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-5864-1 advisory.

 - Xfig fig2dev 3.2.7a has a stack-based buffer overflow in the calc_arrow function in bound.c.
 (CVE-2019-14275)

 - read_textobject in read.c in Xfig fig2dev 3.2.7b has a stack-based buffer overflow because of an incorrect sscanf. (CVE-2019-19555)

 - read_colordef in read.c in Xfig fig2dev 3.2.7b has an out-of-bounds write. (CVE-2019-19797)

 - fig2dev 3.2.7b contains a stack buffer overflow in the bezier_spline function in genepic.c.
 (CVE-2020-21529)

 - fig2dev 3.2.7b contains a segmentation fault in the read_objects function in read.c. (CVE-2020-21530)

 - fig2dev 3.2.7b contains a global buffer overflow in the conv_pattern_index function in gencgm.c.
 (CVE-2020-21531)

 - fig2dev 3.2.7b contains a global buffer overflow in the setfigfont function in genepic.c. (CVE-2020-21532)

 - fig2dev 3.2.7b contains a stack buffer overflow in the read_textobject function in read.c.
 (CVE-2020-21533)

 - fig2dev 3.2.7b contains a global buffer overflow in the get_line function in read.c. (CVE-2020-21534)

 - fig2dev 3.2.7b contains a segmentation fault in the gencgm_start function in gencgm.c. (CVE-2020-21535)

 - A stack-based buffer overflow in the genptk_text component in genptk.c of fig2dev 3.2.7b allows attackers to cause a denial of service (DOS) via converting a xfig file into ptk format. (CVE-2020-21675)

 - A stack-based buffer overflow in the genpstrx_text() component in genpstricks.c of fig2dev 3.2.7b allows attackers to cause a denial of service (DOS) via converting a xfig file into pstricks format.
 (CVE-2020-21676)

 - An Out of Bounds flaw was found fig2dev version 3.2.8a. A flawed bounds check in read_objects() could allow an attacker to provide a crafted malicious input causing the application to either crash or in some cases cause memory corruption. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to integrity as well as system availability. (CVE-2021-3561)

 - An issue was discovered in fig2dev before 3.2.8.. A NULL pointer dereference exists in the function compute_closed_spline() located in trans_spline.c. It allows an attacker to cause Denial of Service. The fixed version of fig2dev is 3.2.8. (CVE-2021-32280)

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 fig2dev and / or transfig packages.
