medium Nessus Plugin ID 266015

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2025:03367-1 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).

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

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 libjasper-devel, libjasper1 and / or libjasper1-32bit packages.
