CVE-2018-11214

An issue was discovered in libjpeg 9a. The get_text_rgb_row function in rdppm.c allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (Segmentation fault) via a crafted file.

It was discovered that libjpeg-turbo incorrectly handled certain malformed JPEG images. If a user or automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted JPEG image, a remote attacker could cause libjpeg-turbo to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Aladdin Mubaied discovered that the cjpeg utility in libjpeg9 did not properly validate the input image's size. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-3616)

It was discovered that the cjpeg utility in libjpeg9 incorrectly handled certain input. An attacker could possibly use these issues to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-11212, CVE-2018-11813, CVE-2020-14152, CVE-2020-14153)

It was discovered that the cjpeg utility in libjpeg9 incorrectly handled memory when supplied with certain input. An attacker could possibly use these issues to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-11213, CVE-2018-11214)

It was discovered that Libjpeg6b was not properly performing bounds checks when compressing PPM and Targa image files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-11212)

Chijin Zhou discovered that Libjpeg6b was incorrectly handling the EOF character in input data when generating JPEG files. An attacker could possibly use this issue to force the execution of a large loop, force excessive memory consumption, and cause a denial of service. (CVE-2018-11813)

Sheng Shu and Dongdong She discovered that Libjpeg6b was not properly limiting the amount of memory being used when it was performing decompression or multi-pass compression operations. An attacker could possibly use this issue to force excessive memory consumption and cause a denial of service. (CVE-2020-14152)

USN-5497-1 fixed vulnerabilities in Libjpeg6b. This update provides the corresponding updates for Ubuntu 16.04 ESM.
