Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.
1) Memory corruption
EUVDB-ID: #VU11631
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-18233
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in the Chunk class in the source code file XMPFiles/source/FormatSupport/RIFF.cpp due to integer overflow and infinite loop when handling Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) data in .avifiles. A remote attacker can trick the victim into accessing a specially crafted .avi file, trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.
Update the affected packages.
Opensuse: 42.3

No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Infinite loop
EUVDB-ID: #VU11880
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-18236
CWE-ID:
CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in the ASF_Support::ReadHeaderObject function in the source code file XMPFiles/source/FormatSupport/ASF_Support.cpp due to infinite loop when handling .asf files. A remote attacker can trick the victim into accessing a specially crafted .asf file and cause the service to crash.

Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2017-18238
CWE-ID:
CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in the TradQT_Manager::ParseCachedBoxesfunction defined in the source code file XMPFiles/source/FormatSupport/QuickTime_Support.cpp due to infinite loop when handling Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP) data in .qt files. A remote attacker can trick the victim into accessing a specially crafted .qtfile, trigger memory corruption and cause the service to crash.
Update the affected packages.
