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

This update for transfig fixes the following issues :

Security issue fixed :

CVE-2019-14275: Fixed stack-based buffer overflow in the calc_arrow function (bsc#1143650).

CVE-2018-16140: Fixed a buffer underwrite vulnerability in get_line() in read.c, which allowed an attacker to write prior to the beginning of the buffer via specially crafted .fig file (bsc#1106531)

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.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability that has been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - transfig: Buffer underwrite in read.c:get_line() via crafted FIG file (CVE-2018-16140)

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

It was discovered that transfig incorrectly handled certain FIG files.
An attacker could possibly use this to execute arbitrary code.

Security issue fixed :

  - CVE-2018-16140: Fixed a buffer underwrite vulnerability     in get_line() in read.c, which allowed an attacker to     write prior to the beginning of the buffer via specially     crafted .fig file (bsc#1106531)

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15:Update update project.

Several issues have been found in transfig, a XFig figure files converter.

CVE-2018-16140

Buffer underwrite vulnerability in get_line() allows an attacker to write prior to the beginning of the buffer via a crafted .fig file.

CVE-2019-14275

Stack-based buffer overflow in the calc_arrow function in bound.c.

CVE-2019-19555
