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

  - In LibTIFF 4.0.9, there is a NULL pointer dereference in the TIFFWriteDirectorySec function in     tif_dirwrite.c that will lead to a denial of service attack, as demonstrated by tiffset. (CVE-2018-19210)

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

The Rocky Linux 9.6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the CIQ ciqsa-2026_1334 advisory.

    This advisory aggregates security fixes for the libtiff SRPM in CIQ LTS 9.6. It addresses 86 CVEs:
    CVE-2008-2327, CVE-2010-2067, CVE-2024-7006, CVE-2022-1355, CVE-2018-19210, and 81 more.

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

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

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-3906-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain malformed images. If a user or automated system     were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, a remote attacker could crash the application,     leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges.

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.

According to the versions of the libtiff package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - In LibTIFF 4.0.9, there is a NULL pointer dereference     in the TIFFWriteDirectorySec function in tif_dirwrite.c     that will lead to a denial of service attack, as     demonstrated by tiffset.(CVE-2018-19210)

  - The TIFFFdOpen function in tif_unix.c in LibTIFF 4.0.10     has a memory leak, as demonstrated by     pal2rgb.(CVE-2019-6128)
