Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU43841

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 2.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2009-5030

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

The tcd_free_encode function in tcd.c in OpenJPEG 1.3 through 1.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted tile information in a Gray16 TIFF image, which causes insufficient memory to be allocated and leads to an "invalid free."

Mitigation

Update the affected packages:

i686:
    openjpeg-1.3-8.5.amzn1.i686
    openjpeg-devel-1.3-8.5.amzn1.i686
    openjpeg-libs-1.3-8.5.amzn1.i686
    openjpeg-debuginfo-1.3-8.5.amzn1.i686

src:
    openjpeg-1.3-8.5.amzn1.src

x86_64:
    openjpeg-debuginfo-1.3-8.5.amzn1.x86_64
    openjpeg-libs-1.3-8.5.amzn1.x86_64
    openjpeg-1.3-8.5.amzn1.x86_64
