The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2026:0225 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2026-2050:
    GIMP HDR File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability. This vulnerability     allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected installations of GIMP. User interaction is     required to exploit this vulnerability in that the target must visit a malicious page or open a malicious     file.
    The specific flaw exists within the parsing of HDR files. The issue results from the lack of proper     validation of the length of user-supplied data prior to copying it to a heap-based buffer. An attacker can     leverage this vulnerability to execute code in the context of the current process. Was ZDI-CAN-28266.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue 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.

    Package        : gegl     CVE ID         : CVE-2026-2049 CVE-2026-2050

    A heap-based buffer overflow was discovered in the RGBE/HDR parser of     GEGL, a graph-based image processing library, which could result in     denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if malformed files     are processed.

    For the oldstable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed     in version 1:0.4.42-2+deb12u2.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), this problem has been fixed in     version 1:0.4.62-2+deb13u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your gegl packages.
