Ubuntu 16.04 ESM : libjpeg9 vulnerabilities (USN-5336-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 183713

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5336-1 advisory.

 - The cjpeg utility in libjpeg allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted file. (CVE-2016-3616)

 - An issue was discovered in libjpeg 9a and 9d. The alloc_sarray function in jmemmgr.c allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error) via a crafted file. (CVE-2018-11212)

 - An issue was discovered in libjpeg 9a. The get_text_gray_row function in rdppm.c allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (Segmentation fault) via a crafted file. (CVE-2018-11213)

 - An issue was discovered in libjpeg 9a. The get_text_rgb_row function in rdppm.c allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (Segmentation fault) via a crafted file. (CVE-2018-11214)

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

 - In IJG JPEG (aka libjpeg) before 9d, jpeg_mem_available() in jmemnobs.c in djpeg does not honor the max_memory_to_use setting, possibly causing excessive memory consumption. (CVE-2020-14152)

 - In IJG JPEG (aka libjpeg) from version 8 through 9c, jdhuff.c has an out-of-bounds array read for certain table pointers. (CVE-2020-14153)

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 libjpeg-progs, libjpeg9 and / or libjpeg9-dev packages.
