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

  - Out-of-bounds accesses in the functions pi_next_lrcp, pi_next_rlcp, pi_next_rpcl, pi_next_pcrl,     pi_next_rpcl, and pi_next_cprl in openmj2/pi.c in OpenJPEG through 2.3.0 allow remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (application crash). (CVE-2018-20846)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:4082-1 advisory.

  - Out-of-bounds accesses in the functions pi_next_lrcp, pi_next_rlcp, pi_next_rpcl, pi_next_pcrl,     pi_next_rpcl, and pi_next_cprl in openmj2/pi.c in OpenJPEG through 2.3.0 allow remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (application crash). (CVE-2018-20846)

  - OpenJPEG before 2.3.1 has a heap buffer overflow in color_apply_icc_profile in bin/common/color.c.
    (CVE-2018-21010)

  - A flaw was found in OpenJPEG's encoder in the opj_dwt_calc_explicit_stepsizes() function. This flaw allows     an attacker who can supply crafted input to decomposition levels to cause a buffer overflow. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2020-27824)

  - There's a flaw in openjpeg's t2 encoder in versions prior to 2.4.0. An attacker who is able to provide     crafted input to be processed by openjpeg could cause a null pointer dereference. The highest impact of     this flaw is to application availability. (CVE-2020-27842)

  - A flaw was found in OpenJPEG in versions prior to 2.4.0. This flaw allows an attacker to provide specially     crafted input to the conversion or encoding functionality, causing an out-of-bounds read. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is system availability. (CVE-2020-27843)

  - 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)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:3802-1 advisory.

  - Out-of-bounds accesses in the functions pi_next_lrcp, pi_next_rlcp, pi_next_rpcl, pi_next_pcrl,     pi_next_rpcl, and pi_next_cprl in openmj2/pi.c in OpenJPEG through 2.3.0 allow remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (application crash). (CVE-2018-20846)

  - OpenJPEG before 2.3.1 has a heap buffer overflow in color_apply_icc_profile in bin/common/color.c.
    (CVE-2018-21010)

  - A heap-buffer overflow was found in the way openjpeg2 handled certain PNG format files. An attacker could     use this flaw to cause an application crash or in some cases execute arbitrary code with the permission of     the user running such an application. (CVE-2020-27814)

  - A flaw was found in OpenJPEG's encoder in the opj_dwt_calc_explicit_stepsizes() function. This flaw allows     an attacker who can supply crafted input to decomposition levels to cause a buffer overflow. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is to system availability. (CVE-2020-27824)

  - 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 openjpeg's t2 encoder in versions prior to 2.4.0. An attacker who is able to provide     crafted input to be processed by openjpeg could cause a null pointer dereference. The highest impact of     this flaw is to application availability. (CVE-2020-27842)

  - A flaw was found in OpenJPEG in versions prior to 2.4.0. This flaw allows an attacker to provide specially     crafted input to the conversion or encoding functionality, causing an out-of-bounds read. The highest     threat from this vulnerability is system availability. (CVE-2020-27843)

  - 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 SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:1129-1 advisory.

  - The opj_tgt_reset function in OpenJpeg 2016.1.18 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted JPEG 2000 image. (CVE-2016-1924)

  - The sycc422_t_rgb function in common/color.c in OpenJPEG before 2.1.1 allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (out-of-bounds read) via a crafted jpeg2000 file. (CVE-2016-3183)

  - Divide-by-zero vulnerability in the opj_tcd_init_tile function in tcd.c in OpenJPEG before 2.1.1 allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted jp2 file. NOTE: this issue     exists because of an incorrect fix for CVE-2014-7947. (CVE-2016-4797)

  - Division-by-zero vulnerabilities in the functions pi_next_pcrl, pi_next_cprl, and pi_next_rpcl in     lib/openjp3d/pi.c in OpenJPEG through 2.3.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash). (CVE-2018-14423)

  - An issue was discovered in OpenJPEG 2.3.0. Missing checks for header_info.height and header_info.width in     the function pnmtoimage in bin/jpwl/convert.c can lead to a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2018-16375)

  - An issue was discovered in OpenJPEG 2.3.0. A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in the function     t2_encode_packet in lib/openmj2/t2.c. The vulnerability causes an out-of-bounds write, which may lead to     remote denial of service or possibly unspecified other impact. (CVE-2018-16376)

  - 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)

  - Out-of-bounds accesses in the functions pi_next_lrcp, pi_next_rlcp, pi_next_rpcl, pi_next_pcrl,     pi_next_rpcl, and pi_next_cprl in openmj2/pi.c in OpenJPEG through 2.3.0 allow remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (application crash). (CVE-2018-20846)

  - jp2/opj_decompress.c in OpenJPEG through 2.3.1 has a use-after-free that can be triggered if there is a     mix of valid and invalid files in a directory operated on by the decompressor. Triggering a double-free     may also be possible. This is related to calling opj_image_destroy twice. (CVE-2020-15389)

  - A flaw was found in OpenJPEG's encoder. This flaw allows an attacker to pass specially crafted x,y offset     input to OpenJPEG to use during encoding. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to     confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability. (CVE-2020-27823)

  - opj_t1_clbl_decode_processor in openjp2/t1.c in OpenJPEG 2.3.1 through 2020-01-28 has a heap-based buffer     overflow in the qmfbid==1 case, a different issue than CVE-2020-6851. (CVE-2020-8112)

  - Integer Overflow in OpenJPEG v2.4.0 allows remote attackers to crash the application, causing a Denial of     Service (DoS). This occurs when the attacker uses the command line option -ImgDir on a directory that     contains 1048576 files. (CVE-2021-29338)

  - A flaw was found in the opj2_decompress program in openjpeg2 2.4.0 in the way it handles an input     directory with a large number of files. When it fails to allocate a buffer to store the filenames of the     input directory, it calls free() on an uninitialized pointer, leading to a segmentation fault and a denial     of service. (CVE-2022-1122)

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