"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced
in the ALINUX3-SA-2022:0164 advisory.

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

    CVE-2021-3695:
    A crafted 16-bit grayscale PNG image may lead to a out-of-bounds write in the heap area. An attacker may
    take advantage of that to cause heap data corruption or eventually arbitrary code execution and circumvent
    secure boot protections. This issue has a high complexity to be exploited as an attacker needs to perform
    some triage over the heap layout to achieve signifcant results, also the values written into the memory
    are repeated three times in a row making difficult to produce valid payloads. This flaw affects grub2
    versions prior grub-2.12.

    CVE-2021-3696:
    A heap out-of-bounds write may heppen during the handling of Huffman tables in the PNG reader. This may
    lead to data corruption in the heap space. Confidentiality, Integrity and Availablity impact may be
    considered Low as it's very complex to an attacker control the encoding and positioning of corrupted
    Huffman entries to achieve results such as arbitrary code execution and/or secure boot circumvention. This
    flaw affects grub2 versions prior grub-2.12.

    CVE-2021-3697:
    A crafted JPEG image may lead the JPEG reader to underflow its data pointer, allowing user-controlled data
    to be written in heap. To a successful to be performed the attacker needs to perform some triage over the
    heap layout and craft an image with a malicious format and payload. This vulnerability can lead to data
    corruption and eventual code execution or secure boot circumvention. This flaw affects grub2 versions
    prior grub-2.12.
