Multiple vulnerabilities in OpenJPEG, a JPEG 2000 image compression / decompression library, may result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed JPEG 2000 file is processed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - openjpeg: Stack-buffer overflow in the pgxtoimage function (CVE-2017-17479)

  - openjpeg: heap-based buffer overflow in opj_t2_encode_packet function in openjp2/t2.c (CVE-2020-27844)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the opj_mqc_byteout function in mqc.c in OpenJPEG before 2.2.0     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted bmp file.
    (CVE-2016-10504)

  - 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)

  - Division-by-zero vulnerabilities in the functions opj_pi_next_cprl, opj_pi_next_pcrl, and opj_pi_next_rpcl     in pi.c in OpenJPEG before 2.2.0 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash)     via crafted j2k files. (CVE-2016-10506)

  - Integer overflow vulnerability in the bmp24toimage function in convertbmp.c in OpenJPEG before 2.2.0     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash)     via a crafted bmp file. (CVE-2016-10507)

  - The bmp_read_info_header function in bin/jp2/convertbmp.c in OpenJPEG 2.2.0 does not reject headers with a     zero biBitCount, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory allocation failure) in     the opj_image_create function in lib/openjp2/image.c, related to the opj_aligned_alloc_n function in     opj_malloc.c. (CVE-2017-12982)

  - A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in the opj_t2_encode_packet function in lib/openjp2/t2.c in     OpenJPEG 2.2.0. The vulnerability causes an out-of-bounds write, which may lead to remote denial of     service or possibly unspecified other impact. (CVE-2017-14039)

  - 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)

  - An off-by-one error was discovered in opj_tcd_code_block_enc_allocate_data in lib/openjp2/tcd.c in     OpenJPEG 2.2.0. The vulnerability causes an out-of-bounds write, which may lead to remote denial of     service (heap-based buffer overflow affecting opj_mqc_flush in lib/openjp2/mqc.c and opj_t1_encode_cblk in     lib/openjp2/t1.c) or possibly remote code execution. (CVE-2017-14151)

  - A mishandled zero case was discovered in opj_j2k_set_cinema_parameters in lib/openjp2/j2k.c in OpenJPEG     2.2.0. The vulnerability causes an out-of-bounds write, which may lead to remote denial of service (heap-     based buffer overflow affecting opj_write_bytes_LE in lib/openjp2/cio.c and opj_j2k_write_sot in     lib/openjp2/j2k.c) or possibly remote code execution. (CVE-2017-14152)

  - 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)

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

  - In OpenJPEG 2.3.1, there is excessive iteration in the opj_t1_encode_cblks function of openjp2/t1.c.
    Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a denial of service via a crafted bmp file.
    This issue is similar to CVE-2018-6616. (CVE-2019-12973)

  - An issue was discovered in OpenJPEG 2.3.0. It allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (attempted excessive memory allocation) in opj_calloc in openjp2/opj_malloc.c, when called from     opj_tcd_init_tile in openjp2/tcd.c, as demonstrated by the 64-bit opj_decompress. (CVE-2019-6988)

  - 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. 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)

  - 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)

  - 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 heap-based buffer overflow was found in openjpeg in color.c:379:42 in sycc420_to_rgb when decompressing     a crafted .j2k file. An attacker could use this to execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the     application compiled against openjpeg. (CVE-2021-3575)

  - 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 on the package manager's report that the package is installed.
