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

  - XMP Toolkit SDK version 2021.07 (and earlier) is affected by a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability     potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of the current user. Exploitation     requires user interaction in that a victim must open a crafted file. (CVE-2021-42529)

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

The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-3585 advisory.

        A memory corruption vulnerability was found,         potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution         in the context of the current use

    CVE-2021-36047

        An Improper Input Validation vulnerability was found,         potentially resulting in arbitrary         code execution in the context of the current use.

    CVE-2021-36048

        An Improper Input Validation was found,         potentially resulting in arbitrary         code execution in the context of the current user.

    CVE-2021-36050

        A buffer overflow vulnerability was found,         potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution         in the context of the current user.

    CVE-2021-36051

        A buffer overflow vulnerability was found,         potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution         in the context of the current user.

    CVE-2021-36052

        A memory corruption vulnerability was found,         potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution         in the context of the current user.

    CVE-2021-36053

        An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found,         that could lead to disclosure of arbitrary memory.

    CVE-2021-36054

        A buffer overflow vulnerability was found potentially         resulting in local application denial of service.

    CVE-2021-36055

        A use-after-free vulnerability was found that could         result in arbitrary code execution.

    CVE-2021-36056

        A buffer overflow vulnerability was found, potentially         resulting in arbitrary code execution in the context of         the current user.

    CVE-2021-36057

         A write-what-where condition vulnerability was found,          caused during the application's memory allocation process.

        A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found         potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in the         context of the current user.

    CVE-2021-42531

        A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability         potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in         the context of the current user

    CVE-2021-42532

        A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability         potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution in the         context of the current user.

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     2.5.0-2+deb10u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your exempi packages.

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

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

The remote Ubuntu 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5483-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Exempi incorrectly handled certain media files. If a user or automated system were     tricked into opening a specially crafted file, a remote attacker could cause Exempi to stop responding or     crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
