Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Stack-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-14931)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing a crafted JPEG file. A remote unauthenticated attacker can trigger stack-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
2) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-11115)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in The ExifJpegHUFFTable::deriveTable function in ExifHuffmanTable.cpp in OpenExif 2.1.4. A remote attacker can use a crafted jpg 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.
3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-11117)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in The ExifImageFile::readDHT function in ExifImageFileRead.cpp in OpenExif 2.1.4. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted jpg file.
4) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-11118)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The ExifImageFile::readImage function in ExifImageFileRead.cpp in OpenExif 2.1.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) via a crafted jpg file.
