Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.

1) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU63445

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 1.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2016-3183

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition in the sycc422_t_rgb() function in common/color.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted JPEG 2000 image, trick the victim into opening it, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.

Vulnerable software versions

Fedora: 23

openjpeg2: before 2.1.1-1.fc23

CPE2.3 External links

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-d2ab705e4a


Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

2) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU30360

Risk: Low

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:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2016-3182

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The color_esycc_to_rgb function in bin/common/color.c in OpenJPEG before 2.1.1 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted jpeg 2000 file.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.

Vulnerable software versions

Fedora: 23

openjpeg2: before 2.1.1-1.fc23

CPE2.3 External links

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2016-d2ab705e4a


Q & A

Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?

No. This vulnerability can be exploited locally. The attacker should have authentication credentials and successfully authenticate on the system.

Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.

3) Heap-based buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU39742

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-2016-4796

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 in Heap-based buffer overflow in the color_cmyk_to_rgb in common/color.c in OpenJPEG before 2.1.1. A remote attacker can use a crafted .j2k file. to 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

Install updates from vendor's repository.
