Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Heap-based buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU21450
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:U/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-15142
CWE-ID:
CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform denial of service attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing DJVU files in DjVmDir.cpp in DjVuLibre. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted DJVU, trick the victim into opening it, trigger heap-based buffer overflow and crash the application using the affected library.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.
Opensuse: 15.1

Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Infinite loop
EUVDB-ID: #VU21451
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 3.4 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:U/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-15143
CWE-ID:
CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop in bitmap reader component in DjVuLibre, related to libdjvu/DjVmDir.cpp and libdjvu/GBitmap.cpp files. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, pass it to the application using the affected library and perform denial of service conditions.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.
Opensuse: 15.1

3) Infinite loop
EUVDB-ID: #VU21452
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 2.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:U/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-15144
CWE-ID:
CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop in the sorting functionality (aka GArrayTemplate::sort) within the libdjvu/GContainer.h in DjVuLibre. A remote attacker can consume excessive system resources with a specially crafted BMP file.
Update the affected packages.
Opensuse: 15.1

4) Out-of-bounds read
EUVDB-ID: #VU21453
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 2.9 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:U/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-15145
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 in the JB2Dict::JB2Codec::get_direct_context in libdjvu/JB2Image.h within DjVuLibre due to a missing zero-bytes check in libdjvu/GBitmap.h. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted JB2 file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger out-of-bounds read error and crash the application.
Update the affected packages.
