Multiple vulnerabilities in FreeImage

1) Out-of-bounds read

EUVDB-ID: #VU18604

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2019-12214

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

Exploit availability: No

Description

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.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's SVN.
