Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.

1) Heap-based buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU63935

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 4.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-17433

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in ReadGifImageDesc() in gifread.c in the HDF HDF5 when converting a GIF file to an HDF file. A remote attacker can trick the victim into opening a specially crafted HDF5 file and perform a denial of service attack.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.

3) Heap-based buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU26294

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2020-10809

CWE-ID: CWE-122 - Heap-based Buffer Overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the Decompress() function in decompress.c. A remote attacker can exploit the vulnerability by sending a crafted file to the gif2h5 binary, trigger a heap-based buffer overflow and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.
