It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2023-2023-381 advisory.

  • A vulnerability was found in libXpm due to a boundary condition within the XpmCreateXpmImageFromBuffer() function. This flaw allows a local to trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read the contents of memory on the system. (CVE-2023-43788)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
