high Nessus Plugin ID 301149

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS / 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8075-1 advisory.

 Michael Randrianantenaina discovered that calculating the linear size of a DDS file could overflow on 32-bit systems. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.
 (CVE-2025-2760)

 Michael Randrianantenaina discovered that GIMP did not perform any bounds checking when calculating an offset into XWD Colormaps. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-10934)

 It was discovered that GIMP's PNM loader did not sufficiently check that the image could fit within the allocated memory, which could cause GIMP to read or write out-of-bounds. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-14422)

 It was discovered that maliciously-crafted TGA files could cause memory corruption and leave GIMP in an inconsistent state. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-48797)

 It was discovered that a maliciously-crafted XCF file could cause GIMP to free the same memory region twice, or access an already freed address. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-48798)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
