Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2011-77:01 advisory.

 The libtiff package contains a library of functions for manipulating TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) image format files. TIFF is a widely used file format for bitmapped images. TIFF files usually end in the .tif extension and they are often quite large.
 The libtiff package should be installed if you need to manipulate TIFF format image files.
 Security issues fixed with this release:
 CVE-2011-0192 Buffer overflow in LibTIFF in ImageIO in Apple iTunes before 10.2 on Windows allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted TIFF image with CCITT Group 4 encoding.

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