Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 25.04 : DjVuLibre vulnerability (USN-7631-1)

high Nessus Plugin ID 241683

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 25.04 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-7631-1 advisory.

 It was discovered that DjVuLibre incorrectly handled certain memory operations. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted DjVu file, a remote attacker could cause applications to stop responding or crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
