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

  - The wmf_malloc function in api.c in libwmf 0.2.8.4     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a crafted wmf file, which     triggers a memory allocation failure.(CVE-2016-9011)

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.

Agostino Sarubbo from Gentoo discovered a flaw in libwmf's Windows Metafile Format (WMF) parser which caused allocation of excessive amount of memory potentially leading to a crash.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 0.2.8.4-10.3+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libwmf packages.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The wmf_malloc function in api.c in libwmf 0.2.8.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a crafted wmf file, which triggers a memory allocation failure. (CVE-2016-9011)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:1516-1 advisory.

  - The wmf_malloc function in api.c in libwmf 0.2.8.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a crafted wmf file, which triggers a memory allocation failure. (CVE-2016-9011)

  - The GD Graphics Library (aka LibGD) 2.2.5 has a double free in the gdImage*Ptr() functions in     gd_gif_out.c, gd_jpeg.c, and gd_wbmp.c. NOTE: PHP is unaffected. (CVE-2019-6978)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLED12 / SLED_SAP12 / SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:1560-1 advisory.
