An issue was discovered in GEGL through 0.3.32. The gegl_buffer_iterate_read_simple function in buffer/gegl-buffer-access.c allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (write access violation) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a malformed PPM file, related to improper restrictions on memory allocation in the ppm_load_read_header function in operations/external/ppm-load.c.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 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.

  - gegl: write access violation gegl_buffer_iterate_read_simple function in buffer/gegl-buffer-access.c     (CVE-2018-10114)

  - An issue was discovered in GEGL through 0.3.32. The render_rectangle function in process/gegl-processor.c     has unbounded memory allocation, leading to a denial of service (application crash) upon allocation     failure. (CVE-2018-10111)

  - An issue was discovered in GEGL through 0.3.32. The gegl_tile_backend_swap_constructed function in     buffer/gegl-tile-backend-swap.c allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (write access     violation) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a malformed PNG file that is mishandled during a     call to the babl_format_get_bytes_per_pixel function in babl-format.c in babl 0.1.46. (CVE-2018-10112)

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

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

According to the version of the gegl package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - An issue was discovered in GEGL through 0.3.32.
