The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3539-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that GIMP incorrectly handled certain images. If a user were tricked into opening a     specially crafted image, an attacker could possibly use this to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-17784,     CVE-2017-17785, CVE-2017-17786, CVE-2017-17787, CVE-2017-17788, CVE-2017-17789)

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

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

According to the versions of the gimp packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program, which could result in denial of service (application crash) or potentially the execution of arbitrary code if malformed files are opened.

Hanno B&ouml;ck found several buffer overflows in GIMP, the GNU Image Manipulation Program, which could lead to application crash or other unspecified behaviour if a user opened untrusted input files.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2.8.2-2+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your gimp packages.
