"The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in
the RHSA-2012:1455 advisory.

    GEGL (Generic Graphics Library) is a graph-based image processing
    framework.

    An integer overflow flaw, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow, was
    found in the way the gegl utility processed .ppm (Portable Pixel Map) image
    files. An attacker could create a specially-crafted .ppm file that, when
    opened in gegl, would cause gegl to crash or, potentially, execute
    arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-4433)

    This issue was discovered by Murray McAllister of the Red Hat Security
    Response Team.

    Users of gegl should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
    backported patch to correct this issue.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

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