An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in netpbm before 10.61. A maliciously crafted file could cause the application to crash or possibly allow code execution.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - netpbm: Out-of-bounds write in writeRasterPbm() function (CVE-2017-2581)

  - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in netpbm before 10.61. The expandCodeOntoStack() function     has an insufficient code value check, so that a maliciously crafted file could cause the application to     crash or possibly allows code execution. (CVE-2017-2579)

  - An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in netpbm before 10.61. A maliciously crafted file could     cause the application to crash or possibly allow code execution. (CVE-2017-2580)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

  - jasper: incorrect component number check in COC, RGN and QCC marker segment decoders (oCERT-2014-009)     (CVE-2014-9029)

  - netpbm: Out-of-bounds write in writeRasterPbm() function (CVE-2017-2581)

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the jp2_decode function in JasPer 1.900.1 and earlier allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted JPEG 2000     file. (CVE-2014-8138)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.
