Description

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.


1) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11813)

CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


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

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.


2) Division by zero (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-1152)

CWE-ID: CWE-369 - Divide By Zero

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear


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

The vulnerability exists due to divide by zero error when processing a crafted BMP image. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted file to the application and crash it.


3) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-15232)

CWE-ID: CWE-476 - NULL Pointer Dereference

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


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

The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error. A remote attacker can trigger denial of service conditions via a crafted JPEG file.


4) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2012-2806)

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

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in Heap-based buffer overflow in the get_sos function in jdmarker.c in libjpeg-turbo 1.2.0. A remote attacker can use a large component count in the header of a JPEG image. to trigger heap-based buffer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
