An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in netpbm before 10.61. The expandCodeOntoStack() function has an insufficient code value check, so that a maliciously crafted file could cause the application to crash or possibly allows code execution.

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

  - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in netpbm before 10.61. The expandCodeOntoStack() function     has an insufficient code value check, so that a maliciously crafted file could cause the application to     crash or possibly allows code execution. (CVE-2017-2579)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLES11 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2019:14101-1 advisory.

  - An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was found in netpbm before 10.61. The expandCodeOntoStack() function     has an insufficient code value check, so that a maliciously crafted file could cause the application to     crash or possibly allows code execution. (CVE-2017-2579)

  - An out-of-bounds write vulnerability was found in netpbm before 10.61. A maliciously crafted file could     cause the application to crash or possibly allow code execution. (CVE-2017-2580)

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