Description

This security bulletin contains information about 5 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-12214)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when processing OpenJPEG files in the j2k_read_ppm_v3() function in j2k.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted image file, pass it to the affected application, trigger out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.


2) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-12213)

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

The vulnerability exists due to an error when processing TIFF files in TIFFReadDirectory() function in PluginTIFF.cpp. A remote attacker can pass a specially crafted TIFF file to the affected application, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

3) Resource exhaustion (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-12212)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in StreamCalcIFDSize() function in JXRMeta.c file when processing JPEG-XR (JXR) image files. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted JPEG-XR (JXR) image file, trigger resource exhaustion and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

4) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-12211)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within  the load() function of the PluginTIFF.cpp file. A remote attacker can can create a specially crafted TIFF file, 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.


5) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-33367)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when handling JXR files. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, pass it to the application, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and perform a denial of service attack.
