CVE-2019-12973

In OpenJPEG 2.3.1, there is excessive iteration in the opj_t1_encode_cblks
function of openjp2/t1.c. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to
cause a denial of service via a crafted bmp file. This issue is similar to
CVE-2018-6616.

Comment 2 Dr. Werner Fink 2019-09-12 06:39:29 UTC

Only ghostscript 9.xx is affected (SLES 12/15, Leap 15.X, Tumbleweed) ... and here the question rises why we do not use the openjpeg (devel) package ... maybe ghostscript uses a hacked version of openjpeg which I've to investigate.  Nevertheless on SLES it seems that there are no openjpeg packages at all.

Comment 3 Dr. Werner Fink 2019-09-12 06:42:09 UTC

Btw: openjpeg is below  a 2-clauses BSD License :)

Comment 4 Dr. Werner Fink 2019-09-12 06:46:52 UTC

Found this in spec file of current ghostscript

# --enable-openjpeg because since Ghostscript 9.05 JasPer is deprecated
#   (--without-jasper is now an unrecognized option by configure)
#   and Ghostscript now ships modified OpenJPEG sources for JPEG2000 decoding
#   (replacing JasPer - although JasPer is still included for this release)
#   Performance, reliability and memory use whilst decoding JPX streams are all improved.

Comment 13 Thomas Leroy 2022-04-14 12:52:43 UTC

@Hans, is SUSE:SLE-15:Update/openjpeg affected here?

Comment 14 Hans Petter Jansson 2022-04-20 22:27:57 UTC

(In reply to Thomas Leroy from comment #13)
> @Hans, is SUSE:SLE-15:Update/openjpeg affected here?

Well, kind of. There is similar code in applications/codec/convert.c::bmptoimage(), but it's in the RLE8 decompression, not RLE4. There's input validation missing everywhere. I could fix it, although I don't think it qualifies as the same CVE.

(Ref. release announcement in https://github.com/uclouvain/openjpeg/pull/1185 for openjpeg2)

Comment 15 Gabriele Sonnu 2022-09-16 09:15:25 UTC

Fixed.
