The version of libtiff installed on the remote host is prior to 4.0.3-35.49. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the ALAS-2023-1839 advisory.

  • A vulnerability was found in libtiff due to multiple potential integer overflows in raw2tiff.c. This flaw allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute an arbitrary code via a crafted tiff image, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow. (CVE-2023-41175)

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