Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote SUSE Linux SLES11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2019:14101-1 advisory.

- 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)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected libnetpbm10, libnetpbm10-32bit and / or netpbm packages.
