Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-20184)

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/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 heap-based buffer overflow in the WriteTGAImage function of tga.c when processing malicious input. A remote attacker can cause the service to crash via a crafted image file, because the number of rows or columns can exceed the pixel-dimension restrictions of the TGA specification.


2) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-20189)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/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 an error in the ReadDIBImage function of coders/dib.c when processing malicious input in DIB reader. A remote attacker can cause the service to crash via a dib file that is crafted to appear with direct pixel values and also colormapping (which is not available beyond 8-bits/sample), and therefore lacks indexes initialization.
