The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3606-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that LibTIFF incorrectly handled certain malformed images. If a user or automated system     were tricked into opening a specially crafted image, a remote attacker could crash the application,     leading to a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges.

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.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201709-27 (libTIFF: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in LibTIFF. Please review       the referenced CVE identifiers for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker, by enticing the user to process a specially crafted       TIFF file, could possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of       the process, cause a Denial of Service condition, obtain sensitive       information, or have other unspecified impacts.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

According to the version of the libtiff package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - LibTIFF version 4.0.7 is vulnerable to a heap-based     buffer over-read in tif_lzw.c resulting in DoS or code     execution via a crafted bmp image to     tools/bmp2tiff.(CVE-2017-5563)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

According to the versions of the libtiff packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - The libtiff package contains a library of functions for     manipulating TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) image     format files. TIFF is a widely used file format for     bitmapped images.
