The remote CentOS host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote CentOS Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the CESA-2021:4251 advisory.

- openjpeg: integer overflow in function opj_get_encoding_parameters in openjp2/pi.c (CVE-2018-20847)

- openjpeg: integer overflow in opj_t1_encode_cblks in src/lib/openjp2/t1.c (CVE-2018-5727)

- openjpeg: integer overflow in opj_j2k_setup_encoder function in openjp2/j2k.c (CVE-2018-5785)

- openjpeg: denial of service in function opj_t1_encode_cblks in openjp2/t1.c (CVE-2019-12973)

- openjpeg: use-after-free and double-free via a mix of valid and invalid files in a directory operated on by the decompressor (CVE-2020-15389)

- openjpeg: heap-buffer-overflow in lib/openjp2/mqc.c could result in DoS (CVE-2020-27814)

- openjpeg: heap-buffer-overflow write in opj_tcd_dc_level_shift_encode() (CVE-2020-27823)

- openjpeg: global-buffer-overflow read in opj_dwt_calc_explicit_stepsizes() (CVE-2020-27824)

- openjpeg: heap-based buffer overflow in functions opj_pi_next_rlcp, opj_pi_next_rpcl and opj_pi_next_lrcp in openjp2/pi.c (CVE-2020-27845)

- openjpeg: out-of-bounds write due to an integer overflow in opj_compress.c (CVE-2021-29338)

- openjpeg: heap-buffer-overflow in color.c may lead to DoS or arbitrary code execution (CVE-2021-3575)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected packages.

How to Run

Here is how to run the CentOS 8 : openjpeg2 (CESA-2021:4251) as a standalone plugin via the Nessus web user interface (https://localhost:8834/):

Click to start a New Scan.
Select Advanced Scan.
Navigate to the Plugins tab.
On the top right corner click to Disable All plugins.
On the left side table select CentOS Local Security Checks plugin family.
On the right side table select CentOS 8 : openjpeg2 (CESA-2021:4251) plugin ID 155186.
Specify the target on the Settings tab and click to Save the scan.
Run the scan.

Here are a few examples of how to run the plugin in the command line. Note that the examples below demonstrate the usage on the Linux / Unix platform.

Basic usage:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl centos8_RHSA-2021-4251.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with audit trail message on the console:

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -a centos8_RHSA-2021-4251.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with trace script execution written to the console (useful for debugging):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -T - centos8_RHSA-2021-4251.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Run the plugin with using a state file for the target and updating it (useful for running multiple plugins on the target):

/opt/nessus/bin/nasl -K /tmp/state centos8_RHSA-2021-4251.nasl -t <IP/HOST>

Go back to menu.
