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. However, proof of concept for this vulnerability is available.

2) 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

Description

The 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.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

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

Description

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

4) 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

Description

The 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.

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

Description

The 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.
