Linux Distros Unpatched Vulnerability : CVE-2025-6199

low Nessus Plugin ID 260207

Language:

Synopsis

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed with a vulnerability that the vendor indicates will not be patched.

Description

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

- A flaw was found in the GIF parser of GdkPixbuf's LZW decoder. When an invalid symbol is encountered during decompression, the decoder sets the reported output size to the full buffer length rather than the actual number of written bytes. This logic error results in uninitialized sections of the buffer being included in the output, potentially leaking arbitrary memory contents in the processed image.
(CVE-2025-6199)

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

Solution

There is no known solution at this time.
