Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds read
EUVDB-ID: #VU19220
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 6.2 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:P/RL:U/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-13504
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (DoS) condition on a targeted system.
The vulnerability exists due to an out-of-bounds read error in the "Exiv2::MrwImage::readMetadata" function in the "mrwimage.cpp" file. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted media file, trick the victim into opening it and cause the affected application to crash.

2) Out-of-bounds read
EUVDB-ID: #VU19508
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-2019-14370
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within Exiv2::MrwImage::readMetadata() in mrwimage.cpp. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, pass it to the application, trigger out-of-bounds read error and perform a denial of service attack.

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-2019-14369
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition when processing a crafted image file within the Exiv2::PngImage::readMetadata() in pngimage.cpp. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, pass it to the application, trigger out-of-bounds read error and crash the affected application.
