Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2023 host is missing a security update.

Description

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-255 advisory.

- libtiff 4.5.0 is vulnerable to Buffer Overflow via extractContigSamplesBytes() at /libtiff/tools/tiffcrop.c:3215. (CVE-2023-25434)
