Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11813)
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)
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)
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)
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.
