Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing one or more security-related updates.

Description

The remote Debian 11 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dsa-5294 advisory.

- jhead 3.06 is vulnerable to Buffer Overflow via exif.c in function Put16u. (CVE-2021-34055)

- Jhead 3.06.0.1 allows attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands by placing them in a JPEG filename and then using the regeneration -rgt50 option. (CVE-2022-41751)
