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

  - A WebPImage::decodeChunks integer overflow in Exiv2 through 0.27.1 allows an attacker to cause a denial of     service (large heap allocation followed by a very long running loop) via a crafted WEBP image file.
    (CVE-2019-13111)

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

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2022:3892-1 advisory.

  - A WebPImage::decodeChunks integer overflow in Exiv2 through 0.27.1 allows an attacker to cause a denial of     service (large heap allocation followed by a very long running loop) via a crafted WEBP image file.
    (CVE-2019-13111)

  - Exiv2 is a command-line utility and C++ library for reading, writing, deleting, and modifying the metadata     of image files. An out-of-bounds read was found in Exiv2 versions v0.27.3 and earlier. 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. (CVE-2021-29463)

  - Exiv2 is a command-line utility and C++ library for reading, writing, deleting, and modifying the metadata     of image files. An infinite loop is triggered when Exiv2 is used to read the metadata of 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 v0.27.5.
