Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.

1) Heap-based buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU63935

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/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-2018-17433

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

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in ReadGifImageDesc() in gifread.c in the HDF HDF5 when converting a GIF file to an HDF file. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted HDF5 file and perform a denial of service attack.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.

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

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the Decompress() function in decompress.c. A remote attacker can exploit the vulnerability by sending a crafted file to the gif2h5 binary, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.
