RHEL 7 : libjpeg-turbo (Unpatched Vulnerability)

high Nessus Plugin ID 196371

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat 7 host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities that will not be patched.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

 - libjpeg-turbo: Stack-based buffer overflow in the transform component (CVE-2020-17541)

 - libjpeg-turbo 1.5.2 has a NULL Pointer Dereference in jdpostct.c and jquant1.c via a crafted JPEG file.
 (CVE-2017-15232)

 - The fill_input_buffer function in jdatasrc.c in libjpeg-turbo 1.5.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid memory access and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted jpg file. NOTE: Maintainer asserts the issue is due to a bug in downstream code caused by misuse of the libjpeg API (CVE-2017-9614)

 - In libjpeg-turbo 2.0.2, a large amount of memory can be used during processing of an invalid progressive JPEG image containing incorrect width and height values in the image header. NOTE: the vendor's expectation, for use cases in which this memory usage would be a denial of service, is that the application should interpret libjpeg warnings as fatal errors (aborting decompression) and/or set limits on resource consumption or image sizes (CVE-2019-13960)

 - libjpeg-turbo version 2.0.90 has a heap-based buffer over-read (2 bytes) in decompress_smooth_data in jdcoefct.c. (CVE-2021-29390)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

Solution

The vendor has acknowledged the vulnerabilities but no solution has been provided. Refer to the vendor for remediation guidance.
