The remote Debian 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the dla-2750 advisory.

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Exiv2, a C++ library and a command line utility to manage     image metadata which could result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed     file is parsed. For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 0.25-3.1+deb9u3. We     recommend that you upgrade your exiv2 packages. For the detailed security status of exiv2 please refer to     its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/exiv2 Further information about     Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions     can be found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian 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 exiv2 package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    Exiv2 is a C++ library and a command-line utility to read, write, delete and modify Exif, IPTC, XMP and     ICC image metadata. An out-of-bounds read was found in Exiv2 versions v0.27.3 and earlier. Exiv2 is a     command-line utility and C++ library for reading, writing, deleting, and modifying the metadata of image     files. The out-of-bounds read is triggered when Exiv2 is used to write metadata into a crafted image file.
    An attacker could potentially exploit the vulnerability to cause a denial of service by crashing Exiv2, if     they can trick the victim into running Exiv2 on a crafted image file. Note that this bug is only triggered     when writing the metadata, which is a less frequently used Exiv2 operation than reading the metadata. For     example, to trigger the bug in the Exiv2 command-line application, you need to add an extra command-line     argument such as `insert`. The bug is fixed in version v0.27.4. Please see our security policy for     information about Exiv2 security.(CVE-2021-29473)

    Exiv2 is a command-line utility and C++ library for reading, writing, deleting, and modifying the metadata     of image files. An inefficient algorithm (quadratic complexity) was found in Exiv2 versions v0.27.3 and     earlier. The inefficient algorithm is triggered when Exiv2 is used to write metadata into a crafted image     file. An attacker could potentially exploit the vulnerability to cause a denial of service, if they can     trick the victim into running Exiv2 on a crafted image file. The bug is fixed in version v0.27.4. Note     that this bug is only triggered when _writing_ the metadata, which is a less frequently used Exiv2     operation than _reading_ the metadata. For example, to trigger the bug in the Exiv2 command-line     application, you need to add an extra command-line argument such as `rm`.(CVE-2021-32617)

    An integer overflow in CrwMap::encode0x1810 of Exiv2 0.27.3 allows attackers to trigger a heap-based     buffer overflow and cause a denial of service (DOS) via crafted metadata.(CVE-2021-31292)

The remote AlmaLinux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALSA-2021:4173 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in Exiv2 in versions before and including 0.27.4-RC1. Improper input validation of the     rawData.size property in Jp2Image::readMetadata() in jp2image.cpp can lead to a heap-based buffer overflow     via a crafted JPG image containing malicious EXIF data. (CVE-2021-3482)
