"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
AXSA:2011-126:02 advisory.

    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. TIFF files usually end in the .tif extension and they are often quite large.
    The libtiff package should be installed if you need to manipulate TIFF format image files.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2011-1167
    Heap-based buffer overflow in the thunder (aka ThunderScan) decoder in tif_thunder.c in LibTIFF 3.9.4 and
    earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted THUNDER_2BITDELTAS data in a .tiff
    file that has an unexpected BitsPerSample value.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

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