Amazon Linux 2 : djvulibre (ALASMATE-DESKTOP1.X-2025-010)

high Nessus Plugin ID 243197

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The version of djvulibre installed on the remote host is prior to 3.5.27-30. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2MATE-DESKTOP1.X-2025-010 advisory.

 DjVuLibre is a GPL implementation of DjVu, a web-centric format for distributing documents and images.
 Prior to version 3.5.29, the MMRDecoder::scanruns method is affected by an OOB-write vulnerability, because it does not check that the xr pointer stays within the bounds of the allocated buffer. This can lead to writes beyond the allocated memory, resulting in a heap corruption condition. An out-of-bounds read with pr is also possible for the same reason. This issue has been patched in version 3.5.29.
 (CVE-2025-53367)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product 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

Run 'yum update djvulibre' to update your system.
