Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Infinite loop
EUVDB-ID: #VU24199
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-2018-11813
CWE-ID:
CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop in read_pixel() function in rdtarga.c when processing EOF (end-of-line) characters. A remote attacker can use a specially crafted image to consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.
MitigationUpdate the affected package libjpeg-turbo to the latest version.

2) Out-of-bounds read
EUVDB-ID: #VU24203
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-14498
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when processing a crafted 8-bit BMP in which one or more of the color indices is out of range for the number of palette entries within the get_8bit_row in rdbmp.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, pass it to the application, trigger out-of-bounds read error and crash the affected application.
MitigationUpdate the affected package libjpeg-turbo to the latest version.

3) Buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU29121
Risk: Medium
CVSSv4.0: 1.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-14152
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack or disclose sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in "jpeg_mem_available()" function in "jmemnobs.c" file in djpeg. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and gain access to sensitive information or cause a denial of service condition on the target system.
Update the affected package libjpeg-turbo to the latest version.

4) Stack-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU54089
Risk: High
CVSSv4.0: 5.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-17541
CWE-ID:
CWE-121 - Stack-based buffer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the in the "transform" component in Libjpeg-turb. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted JPEG image, pass it to the affected aplication, trigger a stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
