Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Integer underflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-14997)

CWE-ID: CWE-191 - Integer underflow

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


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to integer underflow condition in the ReadPICTImage function, as defined in the coders/pict.c source code. A remote attacker can trick the victim into accessing a malicious image file, trigger memory allocation failure, resulting in a DoS condition on the targeted system.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-16644)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

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:Clear


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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient check for length in ReadDCMImage() function in coders/dcm.c and in ReadPICTImage() function in coders/pict.c. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted image to the affected application and trigger application crash.
