There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - In OpenJPEG 2.3.0, a stack-based buffer overflow was discovered in the pgxtoimage function in
    jpwl/convert.c. The vulnerability causes an out-of-bounds write, which may lead to remote denial of
    service or possibly remote code execution. (CVE-2017-17479)

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5664-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that OpenJPEG did not properly handle PNM headers, resulting in a null pointer     dereference. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service (DoS).
    (CVE-2016-7445)

    It was discovered that OpenJPEG incorrectly handled certain image files resulting in division by zero.

    A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service (DoS). (CVE-2016-9112 and     CVE-2016-10506)

    It was discovered that OpenJPEG incorrectly handled converting certain image files resulting in a stack     buffer overflow. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service (DoS).
    (CVE-2017-17479)

    It was discovered that OpenJPEG incorrectly handled converting PNM image files resulting in a null pointer     dereference. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service (DoS).
    (CVE-2018-18088)

    It was discovered that OpenJPEG incorrectly handled converting DWT images files resulting in a buffer     overflow. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service (DoS).
    (CVE-2020-27824)

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

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

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

  - In OpenJPEG 2.3.0, a stack-based buffer overflow was discovered in the pgxtoimage function in     jpwl/convert.c. The vulnerability causes an out-of-bounds write, which may lead to remote denial of     service or possibly remote code execution. (CVE-2017-17479)

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

This update for openjpeg2 fixes the following security issues :

  - CVE-2015-1239: A double free vulnerability in the     j2k_read_ppm_v3 function allowed remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (crash) (bsc#1066713)

  - CVE-2017-17479: A stack-based buffer overflow in the     pgxtoimage function in jpwl/convert.c could crash the     converter. (bsc#1072125)

  - CVE-2017-17480: A stack-based buffer overflow in the     pgxtovolume function in jp3d/convert.c could crash the     converter. (bsc#1072124)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

OpenJPEG reports :

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

  - An invalid write access was discovered in     bin/jp2/convert.c in OpenJPEG 2.2.0, triggering a crash     in the tgatoimage function. The vulnerability may lead     to remote denial of service or possibly unspecified     other impact.(CVE-2017-14040)

  - A stack-based buffer overflow was discovered in the     pgxtoimage function in bin/jp2/convert.c in OpenJPEG     2.2.0. The vulnerability causes an out-of-bounds write,     which may lead to remote denial of service or possibly     remote code execution.(CVE-2017-14041)

  - In OpenJPEG 2.3.0, a stack-based buffer overflow was     discovered in the pgxtoimage function in     jpwl/convert.c. The vulnerability causes an     out-of-bounds write, which may lead to remote denial of     service or possibly remote code     execution.(CVE-2017-17479)

  - convert.c in OpenJPEG before 2.1.2 allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer     dereference and application crash) via vectors     involving the variable s.(CVE-2016-7445)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the JPEG2000 image tile     decoder in OpenJPEG before 1.5.2 allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (application     crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a     crafted file because of incorrect j2k_decode,     j2k_read_eoc, and tcd_decode_tile interaction, a     related issue to CVE-2013-6045. NOTE: this is not a     duplicate of CVE-2013-1447, because the scope of     CVE-2013-1447 was specifically defined in     http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2013/12/04/6 as     only 'null pointer dereferences, division by zero, and     anything that would just fit as DoS.'(CVE-2014-0158)

  - In OpenJPEG 2.3.0, a stack-based buffer overflow was     discovered in the pgxtoimage function in     jpwl/convert.c. The vulnerability causes an     out-of-bounds write, which may lead to remote denial of     service or possibly remote code     execution.(CVE-2017-17479)

  - NULL pointer dereference vulnerabilities in the     imagetopnm function in convert.c, sycc444_to_rgb     function in color.c, color_esycc_to_rgb function in     color.c, and sycc422_to_rgb function in color.c in     OpenJPEG before 2.2.0 allow remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (application crash) via crafted j2k     files.(CVE-2016-10505)

  - OpenJPEG 1.5.1 allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service via unspecified vectors that trigger     NULL pointer dereferences, division-by-zero, and other     errors.(CVE-2013-6887)
