This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12-SP2:Update update project.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 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.

  - liblouis: invalid free in compileRule function in compileTranslationTable.c (CVE-2018-11410)

  - Liblouis 3.5.0 has a stack-based Buffer Overflow in the function parseChars in compileTranslationTable.c.
    (CVE-2018-11440)

  - The matchCurrentInput function inside lou_translateString.c of Liblouis prior to 3.7 does not check the     input string's length, allowing attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash via out-of-     bounds read) by crafting an input file with certain translation dictionaries. (CVE-2018-17294)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The version of tested product installed on the remote host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2020-1524 advisory.

  - Liblouis 3.5.0 has a stack-based Buffer Overflow in the function parseChars in compileTranslationTable.c.
    (CVE-2018-11440)

  - Liblouis 3.5.0 has a Segmentation fault in lou_logPrint in logging.c. (CVE-2018-11577)

  - Liblouis 3.5.0 has a stack-based Buffer Overflow in the function includeFile in compileTranslationTable.c.
    (CVE-2018-11684)

  - Liblouis 3.5.0 has a stack-based Buffer Overflow in the function compileHyphenation in     compileTranslationTable.c. (CVE-2018-11685)

  - Liblouis 3.6.0 has a stack-based Buffer Overflow in the function parseChars in compileTranslationTable.c,     a different vulnerability than CVE-2018-11440. (CVE-2018-12085)

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