An issue was discovered in Exiv2 0.26. When the data structure of the structure ifd is incorrect, the program assigns pValue_ to 0x0, and the value of pValue() is 0x0. TiffImageEntry::doWriteImage will use the value of pValue() to cause a segmentation fault. To exploit this vulnerability, someone must open a crafted tiff file.

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

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

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3852-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that Exiv2 incorrectly handled certain files. An attacker could possibly use this issue     to cause a denial of service. CVE-2017-9239 only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
    (CVE-2017-11591, CVE-2017-11683, CVE-2017-14859, CVE-2017-14862, CVE-2017-14864, CVE-2017-17669,     CVE-2017-9239, CVE-2018-16336, CVE-2018-1758)
