Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.

1) Heap-based buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU23833

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 6.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/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-2019-12211

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within  the load() function of the PluginTIFF.cpp file. A remote attacker can can create a specially crafted TIFF file, 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.

Mitigation

Update the affected package freeimage to the latest version.

Vulnerable software versions

Ubuntu: 14.04 - 23.10

libfreeimageplus3 (Ubuntu package): before Ubuntu Pro
