The version of libXpm installed on the remote host is prior to 3.5.12-9. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2023-1962 advisory.

    A flaw was found in libXpm. When processing a file with width of 0 and a very large height, some parser     functions will be called repeatedly and can lead to an infinite loop, resulting in a Denial of Service in     the application linked to the library. (CVE-2022-44617)

    A flaw was found in libXpm. This issue occurs when parsing a file with a comment not closed; the end-of-     file condition will not be detected, leading to an infinite loop and resulting in a Denial of Service in     the application linked to the library. (CVE-2022-46285)

    A flaw was found in libXpm. When processing files with .Z or .gz extensions, the library calls external     programs to compress and uncompress files, relying on the PATH environment variable to find these     programs, which could allow a malicious user to execute other programs by manipulating the PATH     environment variable. (CVE-2022-4883)

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

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the libXpm-3.5.13-8.el9 build changelog.

  - runaway loop with width of 0 (#2160232) (CVE-2022-44617)

  - infinite loop on unclosed comments (#2160230) (CVE-2022-46285)

  - compression depends on $PATH (#2160242) (CVE-2022-4883)

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

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 libXpm. When processing files with .Z or .gz extensions, the library calls external     programs to compress and uncompress files, relying on the PATH environment variable to find these     programs, which could allow a malicious user to execute other programs by manipulating the PATH     environment variable. (CVE-2022-4883)

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