Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-2190-1 advisory.

 Florian Weimer discovered that JBIG-KIT incorrectly handled certain malformed images. If a user or automated system were tricked into processing a specially crafted image, JBIG-KIT could be made to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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