"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
AXSA:2012-67:01 advisory.

    The Common UNIX Printing System provides a portable printing layer for UNIX operating systems. It has been
    developed by Easy Software Products to promote a standard printing solution for all UNIX vendors and
    users. CUPS provides the System V and Berkeley command-line interfaces.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
    CVE-2011-2896
    The LZW decompressor in the LWZReadByte function in giftoppm.c in the David Koblas GIF decoder in PBMPLUS,
    as used in the gif_read_lzw function in filter/image-gif.c in CUPS before 1.4.7, the LZWReadByte function
    in plug-ins/common/file-gif-load.c in GIMP 2.6.11 and earlier, the LZWReadByte function in img/gifread.c
    in XPCE in SWI-Prolog 5.10.4 and earlier, and other products, does not properly handle code words that are
    absent from the decompression table when encountered, which allows remote attackers to trigger an infinite
    loop or a heap-based buffer overflow, and possibly execute arbitrary code, via a crafted compressed
    stream, a related issue to CVE-2006-1168 and CVE-2011-2895.

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.");
