Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 11 vulnerabilities.
1) NULL pointer dereference
EUVDB-ID: #VU36803
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9572
CWE-ID:
CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in the way openjpeg 2.1.2 decoded certain input images. Due to a logic error in the code responsible for decoding the input image, an application using openjpeg to process image data could crash when processing a crafted image. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
MitigationUpdate the affected package openjpeg.
Vulnerable software versionsSlackware Linux: 14.2
CPE2.3 External linksQ & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Heap-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU14216
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9573
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information or cause the service to crash.
The vulnerability exists in the j2k_to_image component due to due to a heap-based buffer overflow when the j2k_to_image tool handles red, green, blue, and alpha (RGBA) channel dimensions. A remote attacker can execute an application that submits malicious input, trigger out-of-bounds read and gain access to potentially sensitive information or cause the service to crash.
