The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - There's a flaw in openjpeg in versions prior to 2.4.0 in src/lib/openjp2/pi.c. When an attacker is able to     provide crafted input to be processed by the openjpeg encoder, this could cause an out-of-bounds read. The     greatest impact from this flaw is to application availability. (CVE-2020-27841)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

According to the versions of the openjpeg package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - Division-by-zero vulnerabilities in the functions pi_next_pcrl, pi_next_cprl, and pi_next_rpcl in     openmj2/pi.c in OpenJPEG through 2.3.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application     crash). (CVE-2018-20845)

  - There's a flaw in openjpeg in versions prior to 2.4.0 in src/lib/openjp2/pi.c. When an attacker is able to     provide crafted input to be processed by the openjpeg encoder, this could cause an out-of-bounds read. The     greatest impact from this flaw is to application availability. (CVE-2020-27841)

  - There's a flaw in src/lib/openjp2/pi.c of openjpeg in versions prior to 2.4.0. If an attacker is able to     provide untrusted input to openjpeg's conversion/encoding functionality, they could cause an out-of-bounds     read. The highest impact of this flaw is to application availability. (CVE-2020-27845)

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5952-1 advisory.

    Sebastian Poeplau discovered that OpenJPEG incorrectly handled certain inputs. If a user or an automated     system were tricked into opening a specially crafted input file, a remote attacker could possibly use this     issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
