2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11213)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the get_text_gray_row() function in rdppm.c. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted image, trick the victim into opening it with software that uses the affected version of libjpeg, and perform a denial of service attack.


3) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11214)

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input within the get_text_rgb_row() function in rdppm.c.

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop in read_pixel() function in rdtarga.c when processing EOF (end-of-line) characters. A remote attacker can use a specially crafted image to consume all available system resources and cause denial of service conditions.


5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2020-14152)

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in "jpeg_mem_available()" function in "jmemnobs.c" file in djpeg. A remote attacker can create a specially crafted file, trick the victim into opening it, trigger memory corruption and gain access to sensitive information or cause a denial of service condition on the target system.
