openSUSE: 2018:3481-1 moderate: jhead Denial of Service

opensuse
Calendar Grey October 26, 2018
Dist Opensuse Esm H88
This patch resolves a pair of vulnerabilities within jhead that could result in a denial-of-service condition when processing harmful JPEG files.
An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available.

Description

This update for jhead fixes the following issues:

Security issues fixed:

- CVE-2018-17088: The ProcessGpsInfo function may have allowed a remote

attacker to cause a denial-of-service attack or unspecified other impact

via a malicious JPEG file, because there is an integer overflow during a

check for whether a location exceeds the EXIF data length. This is

analogous to the CVE-2016-3822 integer overflow in exif.c. (boo#1108672)

- CVE-2018-16554: The ProcessGpsInfo function may have allowed a remote

attacker to cause a denial-of-service attack or unspecified other impact

via a malicious JPEG file, because of inconsistency between float and

double in a sprintf format string during TAG_GPS_ALT handling.

(boo#1108480)
