Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9580)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
An integer overflow vulnerability was found in tiftoimage function in openjpeg 2.1.2, resulting in heap buffer overflow.
2) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9581)
The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.
An infinite loop vulnerability in tiftoimage that results in heap buffer overflow in convert_32s_C1P1 was found in openjpeg 2.1.2.
3) Heap-based buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9573)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to obtain potentially sensitive information or cause the service to crash.
The vulnerability exists in the j2k_to_image component due to due to a heap-based buffer overflow when the j2k_to_image tool handles red, green, blue, and alpha (RGBA) channel dimensions. A remote attacker can execute an application that submits malicious input, trigger out-of-bounds read and gain access to potentially sensitive information or cause the service to crash.
4) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2016-9572)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error in the way openjpeg 2.1.2 decoded certain input images. Due to a logic error in the code responsible for decoding the input image, an application using openjpeg to process image data could crash when processing a crafted image. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
