The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202305-18 (libsdl2: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

  - There is a heap overflow problem in video/SDL_pixels.c in SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) 2.x to 2.0.18     versions. By crafting a malicious .BMP file, an attacker can cause the application using this library to     crash, denial of service or Code execution. (CVE-2021-33657)

  - A potential memory leak issue was discovered in SDL2 in GLES_CreateTexture() function in     SDL_render_gles.c. The vulnerability allows an attacker to cause a denial of service attack. The     vulnerability affects SDL2 v2.0.4 and above. SDL-1.x are not affected. (CVE-2022-4743)

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

This Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address critical security updates :

The remote SUSE Linux SLES15 / openSUSE 15 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2023:0069-1 advisory.

  - A potential memory leak issue was discovered in SDL2 in GLES_CreateTexture() function in     SDL_render_gles.c. The vulnerability allows an attacker to cause a denial of service attack. The     vulnerability affects SDL2 v2.0.4 and above. SDL-1.x are not affected. (CVE-2022-4743)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue 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.

  - A potential memory leak issue was discovered in SDL2 in GLES_CreateTexture() function in     SDL_render_gles.c. The vulnerability allows an attacker to cause a denial of service attack. The     vulnerability affects SDL2 v2.0.4 and above. SDL-1.x are not affected. (CVE-2022-4743)

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

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3314 advisory.

    Several security vulnerabilities have been discovered in SDL2, the Simple     DirectMedia Layer library. These vulnerabilities may allow an attacker to     cause a denial of service or result in the execution of arbitrary code if     malformed images or sound files are processed.

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     2.0.9+dfsg1-1+deb10u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libsdl2 packages.
