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

  - An exploitable heap overflow vulnerability exists in the gdk_pixbuf__jpeg_image_load_increment     functionality of Gdk-Pixbuf 2.36.6. A specially crafted jpeg file can cause a heap overflow resulting in     remote code execution. An attacker can send a file or url to trigger this vulnerability. (CVE-2017-2862)

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

TALOS reports :

- An exploitable integer overflow vulnerability exists in the tiff_image_parse functionality.

- An exploitable heap-overflow vulnerability exists in the gdk_pixbuf__jpeg_image_load_increment functionality.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3418-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that the GDK-PixBuf library did not properly handle certain jpeg images. If an user or     automated system were tricked into opening a specially crafted jpeg file, a remote attacker could use this     flaw to cause GDK-PixBuf to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
