Synopsis

The remote AlmaLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote AlmaLinux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2022:7978 advisory.

 - GIMP 2.10.30 and 2.99.10 are vulnerable to Buffer Overflow. Through a crafted XCF file, the program will allocate for a huge amount of memory, resulting in insufficient memory or program crash. (CVE-2022-30067)
