Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of LibRaw installed on the remote host is prior to 0.19.4-1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-2234 advisory.

- In LibRaw, an out-of-bounds read vulnerability exists within the LibRaw::adobe_copy_pixel() function (libraw\src\decoders\dng.cpp) when reading data from the image file. (CVE-2020-35533)

- A flaw was found in LibRaw. A heap-buffer-overflow in raw2image_ex() caused by a maliciously crafted file may lead to an application crash. (CVE-2023-1729)

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

Solution

Run 'yum update LibRaw' to update your system.
