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

  - An issue was discovered in GraphicsMagick 1.3.26. A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability was found in     the function ReadCINEONImage in coders/cineon.c, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a     crafted file. (CVE-2017-18230)

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

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-4266-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that GraphicsMagick incorrectly handled certain image files. An attacker could possibly     use this issue to cause a denial of service or other unspecified impact.

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.

Various security issues were discovered in Graphicsmagick, a collection of image processing tools.

CVE-2017-18219 An allocation failure vulnerability was found in the function ReadOnePNGImage in coders/png.c, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file that triggers an attempt at a large png_pixels array allocation.

CVE-2017-18220 The ReadOneJNGImage and ReadJNGImage functions in coders/png.c allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file, a related issue to CVE-2017-11403.

CVE-2017-18229 An allocation failure vulnerability was found in the function ReadTIFFImage in coders/tiff.c, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file, because file size is not properly used to restrict scanline, strip, and tile allocations.

CVE-2017-18230 A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability was found in the function ReadCINEONImage in coders/cineon.c, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file.

CVE-2017-18231 A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability was found in the function ReadEnhMetaFile in coders/emf.c, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a crafted file.

CVE-2018-9018 There is a divide-by-zero error in the ReadMNGImage function of coders/png.c. Remote attackers could leverage this vulnerability to cause a crash and denial of service via a crafted mng file.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.3.16-1.1+deb7u19.

We recommend that you upgrade your graphicsmagick packages.
