Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:03219-1 advisory.

 - CVE-2025-8835: missing range check in the JPEG-2000 (JPC) Encoder leads to assertion failure and crash when processing a malformed JPEG2000 image with an invalid `cblkwidth` parameter (bsc#1247904).
 - CVE-2025-8836: out-of-bounds array indexing in function `jas_image_chclrspc` leads to crash when processing a malformed image file with BMP output format and color space conversion (bsc#1247902).
 - CVE-2025-8837: missing operations in cleanup code of the JPEG-2000 (JPC) Encoder leads to use-after-free when processing malformed JPEG2000 images with certain debug levels enabled (bsc#1247901).
