Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

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

 - In exif_entry_get_value of exif-entry.c, there is a possible out of bounds write due to an integer overflow. This could lead to remote code execution if a third party app used this library to process remote image data with no additional execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.(CVE-2020-0452)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
