2) Infinite loop

EUVDB-ID: #VU21456

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-2019-12973

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 excessive iteration in the opj_t1_encode_cblks function of openjp2/t1.c in Open JPEG. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted .bmp file, pass it to the affected application and perform denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Update the affected packages.

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-15389

CWE-ID: CWE-416 - Use After Free

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to #BASIC_IMPACT#.

jp2/opj_decompress.c in OpenJPEG through 2.3.1 has a use-after-free that can be triggered if there is a mix of valid and invalid files in a directory operated on by the decompressor. Triggering a double-free may also be possible. This is related to calling opj_image_destroy twice.
