The version of libXpm installed on the remote host is prior to 3.5.12-9. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS2-2024-2389 advisory.

  • A vulnerability was found in libX11 due to an infinite loop within the PutSubImage() function. This flaw allows a local user to consume all available system resources and cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2023-43786)

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