Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.


1) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-8690)

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

CVSSv4: 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


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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error. A remote attacker can trigger denial of service conditions via a crafted BMP image in an imginfo command.


2) Division by zero (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-8691)

CWE-ID: CWE-369 - Divide By Zero

CVSSv4: 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


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

The vulnerability exists due to divide-by-zero error within The jpc_dec_process_siz function in libjasper/jpc/jpc_dec.c in JasPer before 1.900.4. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via a crafted XRsiz value in a BMP image to the imginfo command.


3) Division by zero (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-8692)

CWE-ID: CWE-369 - Divide By Zero

CVSSv4: 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


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

The vulnerability exists due to divide-by-zero error within The jpc_dec_process_siz function in libjasper/jpc/jpc_dec.c in JasPer before 1.900.4. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via a crafted YRsiz value in a BMP image to the imginfo command.


4) Double Free (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-8693)

CWE-ID: CWE-415 - Double Free

CVSSv4: 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


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Double free vulnerability in the mem_close function in jas_stream.c in JasPer before 1.900.10 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted BMP image to the imginfo command.
