CVE-2021-46822

El lector PPM en libjpeg-turbo versiones hasta 2.0.90, maneja inapropiadamente el uso de tjLoadImage para cargar un archivo PPM binario de 16 bits en un búfer de escala de grises y cargar un archivo PGM binario de 16 bits en un búfer RGB. Esto está relacionado con un desbordamiento del búfer en la región heap de la memoria en la función get_word_rgb_row en rdppm.c

A heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in libjpeg-turbo in the get_word_rgb_row() function in rdppm.c. The flaw occurs when the PPM reader in libjpeg-turbo mishandles use of the tjLoadImage() function for loading a 16-bit binary PPM file into a grayscale uncompressed image buffer and then loading a 16-bit binary PGM file into an RGB uncompressed image buffer. This flaw allows a remote attacker to persuade a victim to open a specially-crafted file, causing the application to crash.

It was discovered that libjpeg-turbo incorrectly handled certain EOF characters. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libjpeg-turbo to consume resource, leading to a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. It was discovered that libjpeg-turbo incorrectly handled certain malformed jpeg files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libjpeg-turbo to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
