"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2014-037:01 advisory.

    GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a powerful image composition and editing program, which can be
    extremely useful for creating logos and other graphics for webpages. GIMP has many of the tools and
    filters you would expect to find in similar commercial offerings, and some interesting extras as well.
    GIMP provides a large image manipulation toolbox, including channel operations and layers, effects, sub-
    pixel imaging and anti-aliasing, and conversions, all with multi-level undo.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
     CVE-2012-5576
    Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in file-xwd.c in the X Window Dump (XWD) plug-in in GIMP 2.8.2 allow
    remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large (1)
    red, (2) green, or (3) blue color mask in an XWD file.
     CVE-2013-1913
    Integer overflow in the load_image function in file-xwd.c in the X Window Dump (XWD) plug-in in GIMP 2.6.9
    and earlier, when used with glib before 2.24, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash)
    and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large color entries value in an X Window System (XWD) image
    dump.
     CVE-2013-1978
    Heap-based buffer overflow in the read_xwd_cols function in file-xwd.c in the X Window Dump (XWD) plug-in
    in GIMP 2.6.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly
    execute arbitrary code via an X Window System (XWD) image dump with more colors than color map entries.

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

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