Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-32490)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input within the DJVU::filter_bv()  function. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted djvu file, trick the victim into opening it using the affected software, trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.


2) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-32491)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within render() function in tools/ddjvu. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted djvu  file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.


3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-32492)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in DJVU::DataPool::has_data() function. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted djvu file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.


4) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-32493)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the DJVU::GBitmap::decode() function. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted djvu file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
